Genuinely interesting. This morning the Russian MoD claimed they destroyed 3 naval drones that tried to attack two of their Black Sea Fleet patrol ships (Sergey Kotov and Vasily Bykov). There were stories a container ship (Sparta-IV, reportedly carrying weapons coming from Syria) was also among the vessels that were attacked.

Russian sailors after the attack reportedly asked for evacuation. In intercepted conversations between the crews of Ka-29 helicopters (involved in the evacuation) and coastal aviation services, coordinates of the vessels are transmitted and the number of casualties were specified. There is being talked about one dead and five wounded while also talking about the need for border guards for ‘custom clearance’. What is ment with the latter is unknown but it is likely related to the cargo.

It seems a lot more damage has been done than Russia (like usual) is willing to admit.
