Defense Intelligence: the activity of Ukrainian naval drones in the Black Sea should be constant

Russian pilots lie in reports that they destroy naval drones with missiles, because they are afraid to approach them.

The commander of the special unit of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “Group 13” with the call sign “Thirteenth” said this in an interview with “TSN”. 

According to him, the advantage of the “Magura” naval strike platforms is their low visibility in the water area. This significantly complicates the ability of the Russian occupiers to counteract this Ukrainian technological weapon, capable of destroying enemy ships, planes and helicopters.

“We had problems with (editor’s note – Russian) helicopters – we solved them. After that, they began to use naval aviation. When enemy planes recognize that a drone is coming with missiles, they report that they “destroyed the drone”, that they “ran out of BC”, although we do not even feel it. That is, there is an open lie from their officers, pilots. They simply discharge somewhere in the sea, drop ammunition, report that they have destroyed everyone and go back to land. They are afraid to approach,” said the commander of “Group 13”.

He also emphasized that in order to maintain an advantage over the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the presence of naval strike drones in the Black Sea area must be constant.

“We have achieved our goal by about 90%, if we talk about restraining the Black Sea Fleet. As for aviation, we are taking the first steps, we are on this path. It is very important not to lose these advantages that we have. To say that we have achieved our goals and can rest is wrong, because our work, our activity in the Black Sea area must be constant,” noted “Thirteenth”.

Recall that in May, the Defense Intelligence conducted an operation to shoot down Russian aircraft with Magura drones. In a day, the fighters destroyed two aircraft.
