The destruction of Russian helicopters using Magura V5 drones has reduced the number of enemy helicopter flights, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing Dmytro Pletenchuk, Spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy. According to Pletenchuk,

Ukraine said it destroyed a Russian Mi-8 helicopter with a Magura V5 naval strike drone that was equipped with missile weapons.

Missile-toting drone boats blew up two Russian helicopters and damaged a third in a Black Sea skirmish. Why it matters: Ukrainian outlets said the shoot-downs were world firsts. Engagements like this — especially with video evidence — leave little room for drone warfare naysayers.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet was defeated in an encounter with a country practically devoid of warships. The key turned out to be essentially armed, remote-controlled Ukrainian watercraft, which continue to evolve.

Russian missile ships have left the Black Sea, reports the Ukrainian navy. Currently, no ships belong to the arsenal of the Russian Federation in the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov. The Ukrainian navy reports on Telegram that Russian ships have left the Black Sea.
