Russian ship attacked by Ukraine attack drones
Footage of an attack by a Ukrainian FP-2 drone, presumably a kamikaze drone, on the Russian Project 11356R frigate Burevestnik in Novorossiysk Bay.
FP-2 drones can be equipped with Starlink terminals and have a range of up to 2,000 km. It's unclear from the video whether the drone actually struck the ship. The drones likely flew in a formation, assuming they were controlled via a mesh network, as indicated by the launch of an air defense missile from the ship at a high-altitude target.
