Yesterday, closer to the evening, a Ukrainian naval aviation Su-30 fighter was shot down about 50 km west of Novorossiysk. This was done using an unmanned boat with an R-73 air-to-air missile.
They used the same tactic: lured – ambushed. The pilots ejected, and civilian sailors rescued them. Both are alive, and the aircraft – oh well. The main thing is that the people are alive.
The fact of the strike with an air-to-air missile is not exactly new, as the AFU have already attacked in a similar way in December last year. But for some reason, many are still surprised by this.
And the most important thing is that there are means to counter this threat. As shown by practice last night, even ordinary FPV drones with skilled operators effectively destroy USVs.
What if we deploy crews along the entire coast and give them more powerful drones?
