"Two Russian Raptor-class boats were destroyed at dawn today near Zmiinyi (Snake) Island," Chief of General Staff Valeriy Zaluzhniy says.
Unverified drone footage released by the Ukrainian military appears to show two ships being targeted by Bayraktar drone missiles from the air while on patrol in the Black Sea.
The footage has been shared by the Ukraine Ministry of Defence on social media channels.

This war is proving that tanks and ships are no longer viable military instruments. In twenty years, wars will be fought by robots.

The recent war between Azerbaijan and Armenia showed what drones can do.
Drones and increasingly accurate smart bazookas are forcing a change in tactics.
