Heart-stopping moment Sea Baby drones blast Russian helicopters with machine guns in daring raid on Putin’s bridge

DRAMATIC new footage shows Ukraine’s “Sea Baby” marine drones using on-board machine guns to pound and damage Russian military helicopters in a ferocious battle.
Watch as the armed drones also shoot at Russia's Su-30SM warplanes during the battle in Kerch Bay, close to Vladimir Putin's £3 billion Crimean Bridge.
Footage from the view of the unmanned Ukrainian attack boats - first deployed in 2022 - shows the scopes being trained on airborne Russian helicopters and planes.
The video shakes violently as Ukrainian soldiers remotely spray rounds of bullets at the aircraft swooping in the skies above.
The Ukrainian SBU security service said today that intercepted Russian communications suggested the Sea Babies had left Russian soldiers “dead and wounded” on the Mi-8 helicopters.
A SBU statement said: “The Russian pilots considered themselves hunters and counted on easy hunting, but they became the prey, because the naval drones opened fire in return,”
“The latest Sea Baby [drones] were equipped with large-calibre machine guns with ballistic programmes for automatic guidance and auto-capture of targets.
“Intercepted Russian radio communications indicate that there are dead and wounded on board the helicopters.
“The helicopters themselves received significant damage and now require major repairs.”
The battle happened on December 5 and 6 and was the first major drone attack in five months close to Putin’s Crimean Bridge - which Ukraine has vowed to destroy.

I guess if there is a sea baby, then there must be a sea man some place.
