The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has presented a new generation of its legendary Sea Baby naval drones, now equipped with 10-round Grad multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and capable of carrying up to 2,000 kilograms of payload over a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his statement, expressed condolences to the families and loved ones of those affected by today’s strikes by the occupiers and called on the international community to take more decisive action toward ending the war.
“‘Vampires’ aren’t some agro-drones — they’re UAVs born to deal death to the enemy”, says the company’s chief sergeant of heavy unmanned bombers, “Raf”.
During the night and morning of October 22, Russian occupation forces attacked Kyiv using ballistic weapons and strike drones. There are reports of dead and injured in the capital.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian invaders have lost 1,050 personnel and 282 units of equipment.
What should pay look like at the frontline and in the rear to sufficiently motivate military service?
