Heart-stopping moment Sea Baby drones blast Russian helicopters with machine guns in daring raid on Putin’s bridge
Dramatic new film reveals Ukraine’s Sea Baby marine drones engaged in a fierce combat against Russian military helicopters, utilizing on-board machine guns to pound and damage them.
Watch as Russia’s Su-30SM warplanes are targeted by armed drones during the combat in Kerch Bay, near Vladimir Putin’s $3 billion Crimean Bridge.
The scopes are shown being directed on Russian helicopters and aircraft in the air, according to footage taken from the unmanned Ukrainian attack boats, which were first used in 2022.
As Ukrainian soldiers remotely fire rounds of gunfire at the plane descending in the skies above, the footage trembles wildly.
According to intercepted Russian communications, the SeaBabies may have killed and injured Russian soldiers on the Mi-8 helicopters, the Ukrainian SBU security service reported today.
According to a statement from the SBU, the Russian pilots thought of themselves as hunters and expected easy prey, but they ended up as the prey as the naval drones fired back.

Large-calibre machine cannons with ballistic programs were fitted to the newest Sea Baby [drones] to enable automatic target direction and capture.
Russian radio transmissions that were intercepted show that the helicopters are carrying both dead and injured people.
The actual helicopters were severely damaged and now need extensive repairs.
The conflict, which took place on December 5 and 6, was the first significant drone strike near Putin’s Crimean Bridge in five months, which Ukraine has pledged to demolish.
The bridge is a vital military supply line that connects Russia to the occupied Crimean peninsula.

Although Russia did not admit its own losses, it claimed to have destroyed six maritime drones in the end.
SBU drones also struck a barge carrying military gear and equipment for repairing the Crimean Bridge, which the occupants are currently attempting in vain to reconstruct following earlier strikes by Ukrainian special services, the Ukrainian statement added.
The updated Sea Baby drone is capable of carrying heavy machine guns, flying drones, and multiple launch rocket launchers, among other weaponry.
Most importantly, it has once again demonstrated its efficacy.
The SBU said: Everything has its time, but the fruits of our work are actually far more than we can display right now.
The sophisticated Sea Baby drones are made to attack and then return to the battlefield to fight another day, in contrast to Kamikaze drones, which detonate close to enemy targets.
These cutting-edge drones, which have a 1,000-kilometer range, are capable of accurately striking distant targets while protecting themselves from harm caused by hostile attacks.
To increase the manufacture of these drones, military leaders reportedly put together a group of experts from several sectors.

Additionally, they are produced in underground factories that are inaccessible to Putin’s missiles.
