A Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) drone hit a multifunctional vessel of the Russian Black Sea Fleet off Novorossiysk, inflicting costly damage
The Russians commissioned this ship in 2015. Its cost is about $60 million. In total, the aggressor has four such vessels.
The MPSV07 project ship is equipped with diving complexes, remote-controlled vehicles, side-scan sonar, and EW equipment. It can be used for seabed surveys. The vessel's capacity is about 4 MW.
At the time of the attack, the ship was conducting electronic reconnaissance and patrolling the approaches to Novorossiysk Bay.
The Russian ship was struck by a Ukrainian-made drone in the area of the control bridge, where the ship's navigation and communication equipment is located.
The strike destroyed the enemy vessel's electronic warfare equipment and put the ship out of commission for costly repairs.
