The Russian Defense Ministry has circulated a video showcasing its Sukhoi Su-30SM and Su-24M aircraft conducting a patrol near the coast of Crimea, resulting in the destruction of several Ukrainian unmanned boats.
The Department for Information Support of the Black Sea Fleet highlighted that the primary objective of the Su-30SM and Su-24M squadrons was to locate and dismantle Ukraine’s unmanned and high-velocity landing crafts.
The Su-30SM fighter jets are highly effective against drones, used by the Ukrainian forces in attempts to attack the infrastructure of the Crimea peninsula. Navy pilots have shot down dozens of Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea, the department added.
