Media: Ukraine hits four Russian ships with Sea Baby drones

Ukraine has adapted its Sea Baby maritime drones to remotely lay mines, leading to the destruction of four Russian ships.

After the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) maritime drones began to “ruin the lives” of Russian ships, a barrier was built at the entrance to the port of Sevastopol. The latter has made drone strikes almost impossible, Caliber.Az writes, citing US media.

A solution to this problem was proposed by Brigadier General Ivan Lukashevich. His team built a special Sea Baby drone that could lay mines, which, in turn, were provided to Ukraine by Western partners.

We are talking about plastic mines that weighed about 400 feet (181 kilograms). They are also difficult to spot because they hide in the mud in shallow waters.

The ammunition, in turn, is equipped with acoustic and electromagnetic sensors that can detect the presence of a ship and detonate accordingly.

Over the next month and a half, Lukashevich's team tracked the sea routes of Russian terrorists, as well as civilian transport. Sea Baby was then sent to lay two mines.

“A few days later, a modern mine-resistant ship, one of two in Russian service, was blown up,” the material says.
