Watch: SBU and Navy staged a bombing of Russian tankers under sanctions
Sea Baby began attacking Russian tankers
The SBU, together with the Ukrainian Navy, attacked two Russian tankers subject to sanctions in the Black Sea — KAIRO and VIRAT — using Sea Baby naval drones, the report says.
What is important to understand is that they are part of the “shadow fleet” of the aggressor country.
According to the latest data, each of the vessels received critical damage and was decommissioned.
These successful operations by the SBU and the Navy will weaken the transportation of Russian oil.
In addition, the tankers were successfully blown up while they were heading empty to the port of Novorossiysk.
It is worth noting that the attacked ships could have been transporting oil worth about $70 million and were helping the regime of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin circumvent Western sanctions.
Sea Baby (Ukrainian: "Морский малык" [a]) is a Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle (UAV) developed by the Security Service of Ukraine during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
They were an important part of the Battle of the Black Sea and damaged several Russian ships.
The Sea Baby is capable of carrying an explosive warhead and self-destructing upon attack, but can also carry other equipment.
