Ukrainian special forces have successfully targeted Russian invasion craft in Crimea using advanced combat drones from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense (GUR). The strike marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts to demilitarize the region, showcasing the increasing role of drones in modern military operations. This operation reflects the continued resilience of Ukrainian forces in resisting the occupation of Crimea.
The attack on the BK-16 landing crafts, specifically of project 02510, is believed to have disrupted the enemy’s logistical operations. Intelligence sources have indicated that these drones were able to evade detection systems, allowing them to strike critical targets without being intercepted. This underscores the evolving tactics and technological advancements employed by Ukrainian military units to counter Russian military infrastructure.
The operation is part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to reduce the combat capabilities of the occupying forces in Crimea. By targeting landing crafts and other military assets, Ukrainian forces aim to hinder the enemy’s ability to reinforce and sustain operations in the region. Analysts suggest that such strikes may also serve as psychological warfare, demonstrating the ongoing threat posed by Ukrainian intelligence and military capabilities.
