A swarm of naval kamikaze drones with Canadian pieces and possible English advice: this was the Ukraine attack on the Russian fleet

This past Saturday, Russia announced the suspension of the agreement for the export of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea ports. It is, the Kremlin has justified, retaliation for the "terrorist attack" that same day with drones against ships of the Black Sea Fleet based in the port of Sevastopol.

Moscow says that it was the "most massive" attack since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began and that the ships of the Black Sea Fleet that suffered it participate in the operation of the grain corridor for the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports, as well like Russian fertilizers to needy countries.

Russia speaks of at least 16 Ukrainian unmanned devices: nine aerial and seven maritime drones, several of which were intercepted, he says. The Russians have recovered the drones and analyzed them. The Ministry of Defense assures that the devices were equipped with Canadian-made navigation modules.

The Kremlin blames the UK. He assures that a unit of the British Navy directed the attack from the port of Ochakiv, in the south of Ukraine.

Moscow has reported only minor damage to the minesweeper Ivan Golubets in the city's port. But there has been more damage that Russia does not acknowledge.

According to an examination of video footage cited by The Guardian, the Russian flagship in the Black Sea, Admiral Makarov, was damaged and possibly disabled (it is the same ship that Kyiv said it sunk in May). According to unconfirmed reports, the ship's hull would be damaged and the radar systems would have been destroyed.


This frigate would be one of the three Russian ships that were hit on Saturday. A swarm of drones, some in the air and others skimming the water struck the Russian navy at 4:20 a.m. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have released videos allegedly made on board several unmanned surface vessels (USV) used in the attack.

The alleged attack on a guided missile frigate and Russian forces are seen engaging the USVs with machine gun fire. The War Zone reports that these USVs appear to have the same design as the mysterious unmanned device found near Sebastopol in September. Then, this medium claimed that this boat was a "suicide drone" armed for detonation by impact.

The USV moves fairly quickly through waves and heavy machine gun fire, as this post describes. At one point it passes over a small harbor patrol boat before a distant CCTV camera shows its likely disappearance at sea.

Suicide drones are a major threat to be dealt with in the future, especially as they migrate to more resourceful armies."

Another video shows an Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate of project 11356R - one of Russia's most modern and powerful warships - underway, as well as the port of Sevastopol. However, no media has been able to independently confirm the damage suffered by Admiral Makarov.


 In The War Zone, Howard Altman, Stetson Payne, and Tyler Rogoway write that Ukraine is serving as a staging ground for suicide drone warfare; a trial of its use and of its very concept. This type of weapon, they say, is "a great threat that should be faced in the future, especially when it migrates to armies with more resources."
