SSU hit a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk
The Security Service of Ukraine conducted another unique special operation and arranged maritime “bavovna” in the port of Novorossiysk. For the first time in history, “Sub Sea Baby” underwater drones blew up a Russian Project 636.3 “Varshavyanka” class submarine (NATO classification — Kilo). As a result of the explosion, the submarine sustained critical damage and is, in effect, disabled.
On board the submarine were four cruise missile launchers for “Kalibr” missiles, which the enemy uses for strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
This was a joint operation of the 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the SSU and the Navy.
The cost of a “Varshavyanka” class submarine is about 400 million US dollars. Given the introduced international sanctions, the construction of an analogous submarine may currently cost up to 500 million dollars. This class of submarines is also known by the name “Black Hole” due to the hull’s ability to absorb sounds and remain stealthy to sonars.
We remind you that the blown-up boat was forced to stay in the port of Novorossiysk due to successful special operations of “Sea Baby” surface naval drones, which forced Russian ships and submarines out of the Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Does anyone know how they’re getting this footage?
That video amazing! I don’t see any sort of disturbance on the surface that would indicate something moving underwater. To remotely maneuver into that port, around the other docked ships, and target the sub takes a lot of ingenuity & expertise.
Yeah, confirmed underwater drone. Incredible work. Russian sources confirming it’s sunk.
Russian navy confirming their position as the second best in the black sea.
That’s impressive!
Even Russia would probably have netting and sonar bouys in place around their own major naval base. It seems extremely unlikely that Russia wouldn’t take those super basic measures, which means this drone was stealthy enough to avoid sonar systems AND able to Dodge Submarine/torpedo netting while inside a shallow port.
Like a James bond car where saw blades come out the front the cut the netting.
Wow now that’s something!
Russia GTFO!
Ukraine is chasing Russia out of the sea.
