THIS is the moment Vladimir Putin's gas rigs in the Black Sea burst into flames after being hammered by sea drones.
Ukrainian forces strike the platforms in daring night raids using the unmanned craft as the seek to dominate the ocean and defend against Russia.
The latest footage released by the valiant Ukrainians shows a number of strikes on the rigs which they believe are used to house surveillance equipment.
The sea drones attack the structures at their base while air drones strike the platform.
Clips show rigs engulfed in massive blazes while others show huge explosions on the platforms as the drones strike.
The drones capture footage as they race towards the massive beams holding the platform up, before they explode.
Other drones which circle the area then capture the footage and show the rigs engulfed in fire.
One clip caught by a flying FPV drone shows people desperately run away as they hear the drone descend in at them and explode.
Another clip even shows a dolphin jumping up out of the water as it swims along with the drone.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!

So, how is it daring to fly a drone against an unarmed oil rig?
The word daring used to mean that the odds are against you and that you were putting your life at risk.
I suppose the drone pilot might be risking carpal tunnel syndrome.
drones can be “daring”?
What Flipper doink?
Continuing to poke the bear, I see.
Somebody said c’mon pull my drill bit in Russian
I wonder if there will be a future daring night raid at Martha’s Vineyard?
Nice photoshoot!
I’d like to try that myself, I think I can do and I have everything that videographer at SUN UK used: lighting, models, water, alcohol, filled-up bathtub, video editing software.
You must’ve drawn the short straw, or really angered your boss when you were assigned THIS forum to post spam-as-a-service on behalf of the CIA and DOS. Sucks to be you.
It’s hilarious. He posts one article. I just counted,12 of you Russians show up to mock the post.
Do you have each other on speed dial? Or are you all the same person? How pathetic.
Corrupt Ukrainians trying to start WW3 before Trump takes office. Zelensky and the Washington warmongering thugs want to drag us in this to fight the war for those that led the coup back in 2014.
We should not offer another dime to Ukraine.
No, we are just noticing his usual distraction silliness. The strike was on the communication systems mounted on the rigs. They will be replaced. Meanwhile, Ukraine is about to lose a coke plant, which will be very important, and Ukraine continues losing land at an ever-faster rate.
They cry spam, the say FR is being clogged by “zeepers” yet like a dog sniffing a treat they run to put their usual “comments” here.
