Russians demonstrated results of hitting sunken Serna-class landing vessel with Bayraktar TB2 drone

Russians demonstrated results of hitting a sunken Serna-class landing vessel, project 11770 with high-precision ammunition of the Bayraktar TB2 drone.

Photos with the results of the explosion were released on the network.

The Ukrainian drone hit the left side of the boat above the waterline in the middle of the landing compartment. It is known that from this hit the boat sank.

On May 7, 2022 the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the Russian Serna-class landing vessel near Zmiyinyi Island. The boat sank near the pier. The Russians organized a rescue operation for which they used a floating crane.
