Ukraine today claimed that its drones sank two Russian patrol boats near the island of Kobra in the Black Sea.
“Two Russian Raptor boats were destroyed at dawn near Kobra Island,” Ukraine’s defense ministry said in a statement posted on social media.
The ministry also released black and white aerial footage showing the explosion on a small military ship.
Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander Valeriy Zaluzhniy said in a statement, referring to Turkish-made military drones, “Flagtars are working.”
Raptor patrol boats can carry three crew and 20 people. They are often equipped with machine guns and are used in reconnaissance or landing operations.
The small island of Cobra has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance after a group of countries’ border guards rejected the surrender ultimatum presented by the Russian ship “Moskva”.
The flagship of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea “Moskva” sank in mid-April. Kyiv said the ship was hit by Ukrainian missiles and Moscow said the accident was caused by an explosion on board.
