On July 17, a strike UAV was found near the Port Kavkaz located near the Crimean Bridge which was attacked at night. According to some local sources, the drone was discovered on the Black Sea coast on the morning of July 17.

It is unknown whether the drone was used in the night attack on the Crimean Bridge last night or it was suppressed by Russian forces earlier.

It is clear that such small UAVs could not cause any significant damage to the Crimean Bridge. However, it should not be excluded that some strike UAVs could be used by the Ukrainian military in order to distract Russian air defence forces, while naval drones targeted a pillar of the bridge.

Any details are yet to be confirm if the UAV in question was involved in the attack.

Meanwhile, Russian military experts concluded that the Crimean Bridge was likely hit by several unmanned jet skis packed with explosives or underwater drones supplied by the NATO countries.
