A somewhat smaller catch, but Ukraine boasted about it. According to a video by Ukrainian intelligence, Magura V5 surface drones managed to hit a Russian ship. However, this is not a large target, but a high-speed boat. According to analyst Scott, the Ukrainians sank the small ship because the big targets in Sevastopol were out of reach.

Description: Shot of the allegedly destroyed boat from a Ukrainian drone
If the achievements of the Ukrainian armed forces can be generalized, it can be said that they are more successful at sea than on land. Probably the biggest “catch” was the cruiser Moskva, other large vessels were damaged.
Today, Ukrainian intelligence she boasted another hit. However, this time it is not a great success. As Ukrainian intelligence reports, a high-speed boat was hit. A Magura V5 surface drone was used for the attack. “While the fear of Ukrainian attacks forces the occupiers to hide the large ships of the Black Sea Fleet away from the peninsula, the combat work continues against the high-speed maneuverable warships of the Russians, which are illegally in the Ukrainian territorial waters of Crimea,” the intelligence reports, reminding that with the help of Magura V5 attack naval drones the Russian ships Cesar Kunikov, Ivanovets, Sergej Kotov, Zralok and Serna were already destroyed, and the Ivan Khurs was also damaged.
The pro-Ukrainian media outlet Ukraine Front Line then picked up the news, saying that another Russian ship “went crazy” in the “temporarily occupied” Crimea.
However, according to analyst Scott, it seems that the high-speed boat was targeted by the drone because there was no larger target within range.
