Last night they tried to attack the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Sergei Kotov with two deep-sea drone ships when its crew was conducting navigation control duties in the southwestern part of the Black Sea (370 km southwest of Sevastopol). Both remote-controlled enemy sea drones were destroyed by fire from the Russian ship’s standard guns at a range of 1000 and 800 meters. There were no victims. The ship “Sergey Kotov” of the Black Sea Fleet continues to fulfill the assigned tasks.
