The Type of Kamikaze Drone That Hit russia’s Headquarters In Sevastopil Identified

A familiar hero was used to attack the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation in temporarily occupied Sevastopil

The headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation in temporarily occupied Sevastopol was again struck by a kamikaze drone. This is the second incident since the July 31 strike, but now the number of videos recorded by locals is much higher.

In particular, as a result of the attack, the roof was damaged and some windows in the building were broken. There is also a video showing the flight of the drone from different angles, which allows it to be identified. In particular, in this video it is clearly visible that the drone came in from the sea direction, and small arms were applied against it.

And now we are talking about two cases of applying this Chinese civilian drone against russia’s headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, which has been transformed into a solid military base with modern anti-aircraft defense after the occupation. Now it’s the second time when a Chinese drone slipped through russia’s air defense.

The so-called "Governor of Sevastopil" Mikhail Razvozhaev initially said that the drone "was not shot down", and half an hour later reported that the UAV was "shot down", but it simply fell on the roof of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation.
