From the article: A Russian Su-30 fighter jet was destroyed by a sea drone strike carried out by Ukraine’s military intelligence, marking the first time a sea drone takes down a jet, Ukraine’s military intelligence said on May 3.
The intelligence agency, HUR, said the unprecedented operation took place on May 2 near the Russian port of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea and published the video of the strike. The strike was carried out by Group 13, a special unit within HUR, using a Magura sea drone equipped with a missile warhead.
“This is the world’s first destruction of a combat aircraft by a naval drone,” the statement read.
The Kyiv Independent can’t independently confirm the Ukrainian intelligence report.

Угроза для вертолётов: в сегодняшней атаке на Новороссийск украинские боевики среди прочего использовали БЭК с ПЗРК
” … Let us recall that it was previously repeatedly emphasized that helicopters show the best results
in the hunt for Ukrainian surface drones. Meanwhile, the enemy has apparently taken this factor
into account and is now installing MANPADS on their unmanned boats,
which poses a huge threat to our rotary-wing aircraft and their crews. …”
