A Sea Baby drone just taught a Russian shadow tanker a lesson

Original version ·

Another day, another expensive headache for the Kremlin's illegal oil smuggling scheme.

The SBU keeps finding creative ways to ruin the Russian economy. This time, their Sea Baby drone tracked down a Blue-class tanker lurking near Yalta. The ship, which is supposedly part of a shadow fleet built to bypass international sanctions, got a nasty surprise right in the stern.

Even with Russian aircraft buzzing around trying to stop it, the drone didn't miss. This hit is a direct strike at the piggy bank funding the war. These ships aren't just transport; they are the financial engine for the entire invasion, moving oil while pretending to be invisible to international law.

Expensive oil tankers are getting a lot smaller and a lot more flammable lately.

    Are we sure this actually does anything? The oil just switches flags, right? Seems like a waste of a good drone.

    Another expensive scrap pile for the bottom of the Black Sea. Great work.
