Two Magura drones were used during the attack on the Russian tuna-type boats on May 30. One of them hit the enemy fortifications, according to a representative of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, Andrii Yusov.
Backstory
On May 30, RBC-Ukraine's intelligence sources reported that Ukrainian soldiers had successfully destroyed two Russian tuna-type boats in Crimea. Later, Ukraine's intelligence officially confirmed the information. It then turned out that the soldiers had managed to hit four boats, not two.
Ukrainian soldiers have already destroyed Tunets boats before. For example, last fall operation.
Details of the operation
According to Yusov, the latest operations were well thought out and planned.
"After the Magura breaks through a naval fortification or barrier, the next drone actually goes straight to the target. As we saw when 4 Tuna speedboats were hit at once. Aviation, artillery, and small arms did not operate," Yusov said.
According to him, destroying four boats by one drone at once is a very good result. He emphasizes that the intelligence is constantly working to improve the effectiveness of its operations, as the enemy is also learning from the war and trying to save the vessels.
"Every successful operation means destroying Russian ships at great expense, and specialists who have been preparing for a long time," he added.
He added that one of the Magura modifications was equipped with air-to-air missiles, allowing it to hit air targets as well.
