Regarding the attempted “terrorist attack” against the Black Sea Fleet, the Russians claimed that their ships – which they said were “involved in ensuring the security of the ‘grain corridor’ as part of a international initiative to export agricultural products from Ukrainian ports” – were targeted by “nine unmanned aerial vehicles and seven autonomous maritime drones”.
They claimed that all aerial drones and most maritime drones had been “wiped out by ship-borne weapons and maritime aviation”, but that one minesweeper and a boom had “minor” damage.
Russian forces have themselves been accused of targeting Ukrainian infrastructure – particularly energy infrastructure – with Iranian drones in recent weeks, causing substantial network degradation in the invaded country as the winter months approach.
Just as the Russians accused the British Navy of planning and directing the Ukrainian drone attacks, the Ukrainians also accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of supporting and directing the Russian drone attacks.
