Ukraine carried out a successful drone attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea on Friday, killing and wounding “several dozen” Russian servicemen and damaging ammunition dumps and storage facilities, Kyiv Post has been told.

Several explosions were reported on social media at a military base near the village of Perevalne, Simferopol after what is believed to be Ukraine’s largest drone attack to date.

Russian sources reported a near-swarm of Ukrainian drones launched towards Crimea overnight Aug 24-25. Russian officials tried to play down the attack and Kremlin information platforms claimed 42 aircraft were shot down and Russian facilities and personnel were not hurt.

But according to Kyiv Post sources in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), a special military counterintelligence operation of the SBU and Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) targeted the 126th brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

9. The targets seem to be chosen carefully

Russia is shooting itself and its citizens in the foot because when they do shoot one of these things down, there seems to be a lot of collateral damage. The drones themselves don't pack that big a punch.

Also, I've seen some grumbling from people complaining that GPS doesn't work in various parts of the city.

Russia stupidly concentrated its resources in the city center when you'd think they'd want to shoot this stuff down before it got that far.

This is what you get when you've got a dictator who picks his staff for loyalty, not brains.

5. I'm surprised they didn't shoot down all the F-16s Ukraine hasn't got yet

especially since the commando raid took out their main radar/anti aircraft battery a couple of days ago.
