SBU showed the training of a surface drones in the Black Sea (video)
The Security Service of Ukraine published a video of the training of experimental marine drones.
The naval surface drones that successfully attacked the Crimean Bridge, the amphibious assault ship “Olenegorsky Gornyak” and the tanker “Sig” are the SBU’s own technical development. Civil engineers and IT workers are also working on the development of drones and their production, SBU head Vasyl Malyuk said in a comment to CNN.
“Marine surface drones are a unique development of the SBU. No private companies are involved in this development. It was these drones that attacked the Crimean bridge in July 2023, separate ones — “Olenegorsky Gornyak” ” and the “Sig” oil tanker,” Malyuk said.
The head of the Security Service of Ukraine stated that drones are manufactured at one of the underground factories on the territory of Ukraine. The drones were named SeaBaby (“Sea Babies”). They are equipped with 850 kg of explosives. Two separate surface drones, each of which had 450 kilograms of warheads, were used to destroy the amphibious assault ship “Olenegorsky Gornyak” and the tanker “Sig”.
“Today, we have many different interesting operations in the process of development and implementation, in particular in the Black Sea. I promise you, it will be a surprise, especially for our enemies, – commented Vasyl Malyuk. — We take a balanced approach to every special operation at sea. Basically, we measure seven times and cut once. But we do it quickly and mobile. We stab the enemy right in the heart.”
Vasyl Malyuk noted that Western partners do not participate in these special operations, but actively adopt the unique experience of the SBU.
