Footage of the attack near Zmeiny Island has surfaced: our UAV destroyed the enemy's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed an unmanned Ukrainian Armed Forces boat in the Black Sea. It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian naval vessel drone A Russian aerial drone performed effectively. The Lancet loitering munition was used. Crews from the Varyag separate unmanned systems brigade destroyed a Ukrainian unmanned boat, as confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

As the main defense ministry reported on May 20, the target was detected by a ZALA reconnaissance drone near Zmeiny Island. The vessel presumably departed from the port of Odesa and was heading toward the Crimean Peninsula. After detection, the coordinates were quickly transmitted to a Lancet loitering munition crew, which destroyed the enemy boat with a precise strike. The defense ministry noted the coordinated and professional actions of both crews, and the destruction was confirmed by objective monitoring footage obtained in real time.



Video from the Ministry of Defense:



Meanwhile, Greece issued an official demarche to Ukraine demanding the immediate recall of all unmanned boats located near the Greek coast. The stern warning was prompted by an incident in early May: Greek fishermen discovered an unmanned boat with a running engine in a cave off the island of Lefkada, identified as the Ukrainian kamikaze sea drone "Kozak Mamai." According to media reports, the craft may have been carrying approximately 100 kg of explosives.

The Greek government believes that the presence of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the region creates unacceptable risks to navigational safety and the environment. Athens has already made it clear that the threats posed by Ukrainian vessels cannot be ignored.

    Excellent work. From the reconnaissance to the swift execution. Had they delayed a bit, Lancet might have been out of reach.

      That's an understatement, they caught one, how many did it take? This should be a systematic effort, detection and destruction. Then there wouldn't be any need to steal and hide the ships.

        Better late than never. Since they posted a video of the destruction of a Ukrainian backer, it means the work to detect and destroy the Judeo-Ukrainian drones has become systematic. And they've started clamping down on Anglo-Saxon reconnaissance over the Black Sea. The Anglo-Saxons are screaming about dangerously close aircraft encounters.

      Yes, everything is fine. But reconnaissance, one would assume, is constantly being conducted in the waters. And at night, too, one would hope...

      An unmanned vessel with a working engine was discovered in a cave off the island of Lefkada.

      Or maybe the BEC was there for a reason and was in standby mode.

      al3x hi Well, because there's a place to store it (and maybe even assemble it), there's a launch site, there's someone to do it, and there's an order. And there's no shortage of MBECs themselves. As for the Odessa port, they've been hammering away for at least two years, so they could probably do the same for another two.

    Greece has sent an official demarche to Ukraine demanding the immediate recall of all unmanned boats that may be near the Greek coast.
    It would be better if Russian BECs were in charge of the Mediterranean. That would distract attention and discourage Western partners from supplying Kyiv with weapons (at least by water).

    It's a shame our soldiers aren't allowed to seize the BECs and send them to the ports of manufacturing and supplying countries. Someone in the Kremlin just needs to take off their "white gloves."

    Russian fighter jets violently intercepted a British reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea.

    https://vkvideo.ru/video-142076815_456250064

    The British Ministry of Defence reported two incidents involving Russian fighter jets and an RAF Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea (video).

    The footage also shows Russian pilots demonstrating missiles ready for use.

    The Su-27 approached the aircraft to within approximately 6 meters and made six close approaches to the British aircraft, creating a risk of collision, the British complain.

    "A Russian jet flew within 6 metres of a Royal Air Force reconnaissance aircraft... The Su-27 made six passes in front of an unarmed RAF Rivet Joint, flying very close to its nose, risking a collision with the aircraft," The Guardian quotes British sources as saying.

    A second incident has also been reported: the Su-35 came so close that the emergency systems on board the RAF Rivet Joint were activated, including disabling the autopilot, writes The Guardian.

    British Defence Secretary John Healey called the actions of the Russian pilots "dangerous and unacceptable" and warned of a risk of accidents and escalation.

    Escalation? What were the British doing over the Black Sea?

      In such cases, we need to send our own intelligence agents to the shores of England, within international waters, of course, i.e., an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Although the British, for all their nasty behavior toward Russia, have long deserved to go down with their island.

        We need to send our scouts to the shores of England in a mirror image


        In principle, we do this occasionally, sending Tu-95Ss there. But we have to understand that it's quite a long flight to England, even from Murmansk. They could easily use airfields in Romania or Bulgaria, both NATO allies.

          There's no arguing here, but it's much easier for us to sink this island than for England to sink our half-continent. Size, no matter how you look at it, plays a role not only in intimacy. laughing

    What if we built a huge, huge drone weighing tens of millions of tons and launched it at Ukraine?! Maybe then it would suffer the same fate as the BEK, and life would become easier?

    What a funny nickname these idiots came up with: a Cossack, and even Mamai. Soon Timur will catch on. They've completely lost their minds. It's time for our true friends, the Mongols, to patent the names of their great ancestors and present the idiots with a bill.😀😀

    It's noteworthy that the Lancet won't make it from Crimea to Zmeinoye. This means our fighters have either settled on platforms in the Black Sea, or our long-suffering fleet has finally gone hunting.

    Or it wasn't Lancet, but something else.
