Ukraine sinks $70M Russian warship Ivanovets in the Black Sea using boat drones

Ukraines' armed forces claimed to have sunk another Russian warship using kamikaze attack drones in a formidable strike off the coastline of Crimea.


Footage shared by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence showed how its unmanned seafaring vessels bore down on the £55 million Black Sea missile ship Ivanovets.

The 184ft warship was hit by multiple drones off annexed Crimea and was reportedly sunk after suffering massive hull damage.

Ivanovets was in sea lake Donuzlav, a bay in the west of Crimea used for military vessels, when it came under attack.

The fate of the crew - who resisted the attack and shot at the drones - is not known.

Neither the Russian Ministry of Defence nor the Navy have officially confirmed the strike, but a slew of pro-war military channels on Telegram have corroborated Ukrainian reports.

As a result of a number of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship received damage that was incompatible with further movement - the Ivanovets tilted to the stern and sank,' said Military Informant Telegram channel.


One reported: 'We must give credit to the crew. They fought to the last.
