NV has obtained a video of training involving the SeaBaby attack drones used by Ukraine’s SBU security service to attack the Crimean Bridge on July 17.
The outlet received exclusive footage from its own sources in the Ukrainian special services.
The video shows how marine drones maneuver in the open sea. It is not specified where the training is taking place. NV also has a photo of the new type attack drone. The SBU said the new drone has a warhead of 850 kilograms of explosives.
In the early hours of July 17, explosions were heard on the Crimean Bridge for the second time since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, after which all traffic on it was stopped. The Russians have said that they will not be able to restore it until the end of 2023.
A law enforcement source told NV that the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy were involved in the nighttime explosions on the Crimean Bridge. According to the source, the bridge was attacked using surface drones.
On Aug. 16, CNN published a video showing the moment of the July attack by an experimental naval drone.
The head of the SBU, Vasyl Maliuk, told reporters that the SeaBaby drone was the result of months of development that began immediately after Russia's full-scale invasion.
For the first time, he officially acknowledged Ukraine's involvement in the second explosion of the Crimean Bridge. In July, he said that the SBU had carried out the first one in October 2022.
A new series of explosions occurred in the Crimean Bridge area on Aug. 12. It is not yet known what caused them.
