Extraordinary new footage has revealed the sheer terror faced by Russian sailors aboard a large landing ship sunk by Ukrainian kamikaze sea drones last month.
A GoPro video, taken by sailors aboard the doomed Caesar Kunikov military vessel, showed in shocking detail how the navy men desperately tried to fight off the oncoming drones in an intense 20-minute sea battle before their vessel was destroyed in a fiery explosion.
The warship was lost on February 14, but the footage has only just been released by Russian Telegram channel FighterBomber.
The hellish, chaotic scene saw a small group of seamen unloading their weapons into the murky water. Explosions rang out around them as the drones one by one slammed into the ship's hull and lit up the night sky.
But the clip also highlights how the conflict in Ukraine and Kyiv's deployment of kamikaze sea-based drones have changed the face of naval warfare.
Despite the crew letting loose thousands of rounds at the oncoming threat, the Russian battleship was powerless to defend against a flotilla of high-speed, high-explosive MAGURA V5 drones controlled by operators hundreds of miles away.

Or machine guns aren’t very good in that role.
After the Stark, and some of the other attacks, I’d hope they made the adjustments.
I do want the killing to stop. But I have never phrased it in the twisted manner you are doing and I am not “obsessed” with any of this crap. I want the killing to stop on both sides and have expressed that many times. Project much?
This is why I do not like conversing with you and most other zeepers. You twist people’s words, you distort people’s intentions and beliefs and you demonstrate no integrity. Your tactics are disingenuous.
I am going to ask you again to stop posting to me. Your garbage is a waste of my time.
Thank you.
Is the Stark where some patrol boats pulled up close and did major damage and loss of many sailors? Memory is slipping.
The Stark incident was a pair of Iranian Exocet missiles. I meant the USS Cole incident, where suicide bombers drove a dingy up to the ship and exploded it.
Right. Thank you for the clarification.
One last forgive me, but apparently you can say
“ You tell them, you obsessed freak.”
But I can’t, got ya
Very good. You’re learning.
Now leave me alone.
