The ship suffered serious damage.

Ukrainian special forces hit the Russian missile ship Samum in Crimea using the experimental Sea Baby drone. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with a reference to its sources.

According to sources, yesterday an SSU naval drone attacked the Samum missile ship near the entrance to Sevastopol Bay.

The Sea Baby hit the rear right side of the Russian vessel, causing significant damage. After this, the ship lost speed.

The Russians had to tow the Samum for repairs with a large trim to the stern and a list to starboard.

For this attack, the SSU used an experimental model of a maritime drone capable of operating in a storm, hiding from detection behind high waves. Thus, during the special operation, the wave height reached 1.5-2 meters.
