A Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drone captured video of successful attacks on two Russian Raptor fast-attack boats. The Russian patrol boats were blown up last week by Ukrainians in the Black Sea.
This was another indication that Ukraine continues to win the Drone Wars.
“Two Russian Raptor boats were destroyed at daybreak today near Snake Island,” Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi reported.
“#bayraktar is doing its job,” he continued, referring to the unmanned combat drone known as the Bayraktar TB2. The drones have been widely credited with sinking the two Russian Raptor fast-attack craft. Zaluzhnyi also posted a 17-second video that shows the drone hits on the Russian raptors. His video was time-stamped 4:51 am local time.
