Security Service of Ukraine Sea Baby marine drones struck two sanctioned tankers of the Russian shadow fleet, KAIRO and VIRAT, in the Black Sea.

This was a joint operation of the 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the SBU and the Navy

During the attack, the sanctioned vessels were empty — they were heading to load in the port of Novorossiysk.

  3. 1 part of me is sad at the amount of oil and shit being spread into the environment by there Russian fucks.

    and the other part of me is happy that UK has multiple drones watching the shipping lanes.

  4. Long overdue in my opinion. Ideally, there must not be a drop of russian oil or gas leaving the Black Sea. Alas, that’s not entirely possible since some allied ships such as the Turkish ones use the same route and are eager to do business with the evil state.

  5. Trust the Ukrainians to not only want to damage ruzzia but still keep the environment in mind at the same time. Truly a benefit to humanity. Unlike the other country.

  6. <Chandler’s voice> I knew it!

    Way to go Ukraine, keep those kinetic sanctions coming!

  9. I would love to see CITIZENS from around the world building remote global drones doing this throughout all of Ruzz coasts. 

  10. So Ukraine openly claims responsibility? That’s quite the step, and a very open declaration of intent towards the owners of the shadow fleet vessels, especially with it being so far from Russian waters as well, which makes this an open declaration that the already struggling black sea fleet can’t even so much as make false promises of protection.

    It also means russia is on the hook for the insurance that it took responsibility for in order to get these vessels to do this.

    But realistically this also shows the sheer stress Ukraine is under politically. Ukraine being able to do this but *choosing* not to for the convenience of its allies is something I’ve been certain of for a good while now. Ukraine finally pulling this card means they feel heavily pressured to wrench back political leverage and remind the world they aren’t *helpless*, and that wavering allies can’t just decide Ukraine’s future on a backroom deal with russia without consequence. Russia’s recent attacks on ukrainian black sea shipping helps frame this as Ukraine having greater tit-for-tat escalation leverage in the black sea than russia, too.

    It will be interesting to see if more strikes are imminent, or if this is more of a political warning shot.

  12. you see EUROPEAN UNION!! THIS is how you deal with the shadowfleet…you pussies.

  17. Finally. Let’s see who gives up sooner when no ship and no pipeline is left for Russias only source of income

  18. 🎶 Ghost fleet on fire ! 🎶
    🎶 Your Tankers are terrified ! 🎶
    🎶 Ghost fleet on fire ! 🎶

  19. Holy fuck, how many angles did they film? Ukrichads doing what they want at this point

  20. The best part of this footage is, that it shows that Russia has no control whatsoever over the Black Sea. Just how many drones were used in this operation and how many times they got them without any sort of protection offered to the tankers? That took some time and effort to get everything working so smoothly, or zero resistance from Russia. Their tankers are just floating there like sitting ducks.

    Now quick, repeat it while it’s open season!

  24. Good. Make it dangerous for the shadow fleet to operate. 

  25. I love how a country without much of a navy absolutely owns Putin at sea.

  27. Sends a good message to countries wishing to buy Russian Oil through the back door.

  28. I donated to their development when the appeal went out. I am glad to see them in action!!

  29. Both ships are settling by the stern – especially that first one

  30. Permanently sanctioned as all the shadow fleet should be

  31. 3 years late, but better late than never.
    Slava Ukraini.

  32. Both sitting very high in the water…so empty

  37. Two tankers with destination India got sunk. Hope Ukraina will continue to sink tankers until India stops buying ruzzian oil

  38. What did the owner of the Russian sanctioned oil transport ship do?

  40. I always love when the Ukrainians have another drone hanging back to provide footage of the explosion when the telemetry from the attacking drone ends. Not only an obviously effective kinetic attack, but also provides evidence of their success/progress and terror for the orcs.

  41. Why there are sanctioned shadow fleet ships and not sanctioned ones? Why they are allowed to go around sanctions for so long? There are hundreds of ships freely trading sanctioned goods under different flags.
