The Security Service of Ukraine has released exclusive footage of the “Sea Baby” special operation in Kerch Bay.

Ukraine has significantly advanced its naval warfare capabilities through the deployment of innovative marine drones, including the latest unmanned vessels equipped with integrated strike systems. These naval drones, such as the Stalker 5.0 and Sea Baby-2024, are designed for various missions, including reconnaissance, logistics, and direct attacks on enemy positions. The Stalker 5.0 can execute kamikaze missions with a payload of up to 150 kilograms, while the Sea Baby-2024 can carry nearly a ton of explosives over distances of up to 1,000 kilometers.

Overnight on 6 December, a group of Ukraine’s Sea Baby marine drones engaged in combat with Russian helicopters, aircraft, and Raptor patrol boats attempting to intercept them.
