Shot after shot pounded into the Russian missile battery hidden by the lighthouse on Snake Island, a Black Sea rock 22 miles (35km) from the Ukrainian coast. The edited video, released by the Ukrainian military, showed the strike and its aftermath – all taken from a Turkish-designed Bayraktar TB2 drone.
Until then, evidence of the TB2 – a remotely piloted killer drone with a range of up to 190 miles – had largely disappeared from the conflict. The assumption was that the two dozen or so that Ukraine had bought from Turkey had been shot down and Ankara, not wanting to upset Russia, had declined to supply more.
#Ukraine: A Russian ammo depot with MRLS rockets and at least three cargo trucks were destroyed by the Ukrainian SSO (SOF).
The most interesting thing here is the weapon used – a UA-made Punisher Airstrike drone which dropped a UB-75HE 2kg unguided high-explosive bomb. pic.twitter.com/l6NcQ9hNR5
