On August 20, an UAV hit the roof of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in the city of Sevastopol. It is the second drone attack on the facility.
The city governor assured that there were no victims and no serious damage to the building. Ukraine was blamed for the attack.
Russian forces attempted to intercept the drone with small arms. According to the governor, the UAV was hit right above the fleet headquarters. As a result, it fell on the roof and caught fire.
The police blocked the approaches and entrances to the fleet headquarters. The governor advised residents to stay at home for the next hour.
Judging by the video, Ukrainian forces used a Ukrainian PD-1 UAV, which is produced by Ukr Spec Systems. The flight range is up to 450 km.
After the explosion in Sevastopol, a military helicopter was seen in the sky, patrolling over the city.
Late on the evening of August 19, air defence means of the Black See fleet were also active near the city:
The facility was already targeted by another UAV attack on July 31. According to the Russian military, a homemade drone with a low-power explosive device was used to hit the entrance to the headquarters. After the incident, a high level of terrorist threat was introduced in Sevastopol. It was extended until August 29.
The Russian military is yet to ensure the security of the headquarters of the Balck Sea Fleet. The drones can be launched by the Ukrainian military from the Black Sea as well as by sabotage groups from the territory of Crimea.
Ukrainian forces have recently increased their attempts to hit facilities in different regions of Crimea.
UPDATE:
On the morning of August 20, explosions were reported at the military airfield near the city of Bakhchisaray. Any detail are yet to be revealed. The local officials are yet to comment on the incident. – FAKE
The reports about the explosions in Bakhchisaray turned out to be fake. Ukrainian media spread old photos supporting the reports.

The air defence means intercepted a drone over the city of Bakhchisaray:
At the same time, Russian air defence systems intercepted another UAV over the village of Molochnoe in the Saky region.
On the evening of August 19, air defense systems intercepted several targets over Sevastopol, Yevpatoria (located near Saky) and Kerch.
The drone attacks began on August 18, when several UAVs were intercepted over Kerch and Sevastopol. LINK
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry previously warned that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could strike Crimea by the American HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, since the United States does not consider the peninsula to be part of Russia. At the same time, the Crimean bridge is “the number one goal,” for the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian president said that Ukraine would strike at the Crimean Bridge as soon as it receives the necessary military equipment from the Kiev’s allies.
The attacks on Crimea began only after Washington reportedly allowed Ukrainian troops to strike the peninsula. This clearly demonstrates who commands the Ukrainian military.
So far, the Ukrainian military have used only UAVs for attempts to attack targets in Crimea. Most of them are intercepted. Since the cost of the attempts is too high, Ukrainian forces use small drones with explosive devices. They cannot cause any significant damage to Russian military facilities in the peninsula. The attacks are likely aimed at creating the necessary informational gains on the eve of the Independence Day of Ukraine which is celebrated on August 24.
All the mistakes of the Russian military and any successful strikes or sabotages in Crimea are great victories for the Kiev regime as they demonstrate that the Ukrainian military can reach the targets in the peninsula. Despite the fact that they lose most of them in vain. In turn, Russian forces are yet to increase their attacks on the decision-making centers in Ukraine. Russia’s response is yet to come.
Wtf does attempting to stop a drone with small arms mean? Does they dont even have any SAM available? They should fire whoever responsible for the defense of the peninsula
According to SF Best airdefence for a suicide. Drone is the roof of the black fleet HQ. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Useless tiny toy drones that can hardly blow off a roof tile or two or break a window you silly twat!
Its not even buildt for that.
tiny drones do not fly from Ukraine. If the drones come from Crimea, the boss of the FSB in Crimea should be shot on the spot.
Effect of drone made me think it is big fire cracker lol.
Rather small.
Well descriebed on internet. Most likely its possible to put a smaller bomb on it.
Oh… so these Walmart bottom shelf drones are the wunderwaffe of the new $1B package from US. Good markup! 👍
Its for looking. The text says so.
We will see if this article is very incomplite or not.
Why on earth did you have to edit a post that’s essentially 2 letters repeated? Yes it’s a whole bunch of letters to remember but the pattern repeats.
Idiot, these are tiny toy drones like DJI Phantoms or smaller! That is how pathetic the Ukraps military response is as their poor unwilling conscripts get turned in to hamburger meat across all front lines.
Its for looking. If You feed Your pigins better, they will braing You facts from internet. More like that You ignore facts and only tell limited thinking
Take the butt plug out of your ass and stick in your mouth for change you disgusting Danish homo!
They’re only gentiles. As long as no Jews are harmed. That’s all that matters.
Typical russian lover comment. War is not like that. The Russian capasity as always expected itas overrated.
This or tose drones here seemes very good for the fear factor.
Drones and rockets use to hit US bases in Irak despite be protected by Avengers and C-RAM AAA
Man , that’s funny
It means they dealt with the drone without using “heavy weapons” like artillery or missile battery. Small arms can mean anything from manpads to handheld EW weapons to throwing a rock at it.
Sadly Russia is doing very poorly and all its “Red Lines” has become an impotent joke. Even people sympathetic to Russia are now questioning the sheer incompetence of Russian military and ineffectiveness of Russian weapons as the US and NATO strike deeper and deeper into Russian occupied territory with impunity. If Russia does not take out the Kiev command centers, it is matter of time that Moscow will be hit.
It means that this drone (15′ wingspan) is very hard to track, much less get a lock on. It has a massive 14lb payload capacity. That payload is cameras. Possibly the only AD that might have been effective is the gun on the Pantsir. It’s doubtful that a SAM could even get a lock.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Hard enough that Ukraine can attack Crimea. What’s next?
They don’t worry much with big firecrackers.
Like in saki 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
No, like in Bakhmut, whole ukranian defence in Donbass is falling appart, no the so much talked about Kherson counter offensive and you take pride with some pin pricks. LOL. Russians will eventually find out who and where from is sending it and will send a few klibrs that way :)
Bakhmut has been about to fall for what 2 months now? 😂😂 Cope harder ❤️
Soledar hás been conquered for a month Also 🤣
What phase it is now 4.5? 🤡
Xoooooooooooon 🤣😂🤣🤣
Love those tears keep em coming 😘
They should be sending those Kalibrs through the front door of Zelenskeys home SBU and the American Embassy.
Its “falling apart” so much the RF advances 10km a month if they are lucky. At this rate Donbass will be protected from Kiev in 5-10 years, as long as the Americans don’t provide longer range weapons to Kiev.
Oh look its old”Uncle Vanya” from Tel-Aviv talking utter shite again, as usual!
Why dont You write the aricle before You comment. Ruski Barduskuski actually do.
Thats right. Russians also there has to have their own cirkus. It takes capasity.
Mate you should go go crimea and throw rocks tothe sky, better than S 400 😂😂😂😂😂🤣
You don’t use a S-400 on a drone from Wallmart you tit.
Plus they would have a radar signature the size of a f’ing pigeon!
Using an S-400 SAM on a Walmart drone is like calling in an air strike on a little girl on a bicycle armed with a potato cannon.
S-400 is meant to take on fast moving targets at ranges up to 400 km away and 60 km high. The seeker heads on the missiles would overfly the drone by about 40 KM before it even activated and if it took out a drone at that low altitude the damage from the missile warhead would be far more destructive to objects on the ground than the drones payload
Russian excuses are hilarious. Their hq was bombed so they came up with ideas like we shot down the drone above our hq and the debris fell on the roof and no one was harmed. Lol
Hilarious. 😂😂 Love their tears, tasty!
You’re nothing but a loser…
Bombed by a tiny toy drone with a minuscule charge that did 2/5 of 3/8 of bugger all damage you inbred kike retard.
Typical unqualifoed comment.
When Russia send a long article like this, it did somthing of importance. If You write You defended well, the attack was of importance.
It was shot down and did no harm says so.
That the most likely scenario. The drone was no attack drone but was very close to that HQ looking.
Why have Russia not invented a drone that attacks other drones ? Seems the obvious solution to me.
Many try. It might be next step. In space Russia seemes to try to make attack (satellite)drones and seemes to be in front.
Que destruyan todas las capacidades ofensivas de Ucrania y que le tiren la moral por el suelo. Las vias de acceso a Ucrania, aereas, maritimas y terrestres deben de se reliminadas.
Ukras are not sitting ducks less clever then them. The real world is not as You hope or expect.
So Nazis managed to damage a roof?! Lol, what a great achievement.
What a great impressive ukrainian victory. This will drive out the russians within a few days!!
The Ukrainians are bombing the nuclear waste. They and NATO already predicted a big change in August some time ago.. So they are getting serious… What is next??? Poisening the water??? We know the globalists are good in these things, and the Russians are not to smart in these things..
Typical stupidisme. Russians use it instead of civile hostage taking.
I don’t know what the Russians are waiting for before they totally annihilate the leadership in Kiev and other decision making centers,i hope not for the Black sea fleet to be sunk.
Well, it’s not as easy as saying ‘trust the plan’ ut the Russians know dam well the NAZI are using two kinds of human shields, conscripts with a gun to the family’s heads, and civilians whose families are in the ranls of the allied militias, they have good reason to take it slow, while they pummel the NAZI positions over top of the conscripts, to target the foriegn mercs operating the HIMARS and other high tech sysyems. It preferable this way, because those conscripts may one day for the bulk of a revolt army against the Zelensky regime and with Russian air support, be very useful in running over the NATO fascists right up to the Polish border, as liberators to the locals, they’ll manage the North and East, Russian the West and the South, and NATO will be out of both.
Not just human shields Kev -latest Russian Defence Ministry = Zelensky has been exploding Chemical bombs many troops hospitalised from a variety of BOTULISM–which is deadly KIev is accused of “Chemical Terrorism ” -banned worldwide but NOT it seems in the brain of Zionist Azov Zelensky .
Laboratory samples being sent to the OPWC –as the USA controls it that will be a waste of time –now we know what the US labs in Ukraine were producing.
Thats a typical overrating. You have been indoctrinated others are nothing. They and we are more then that.
So far Russia only has met mild and gently donated defence by 35-40 countries.
It seemes to work. Even so its brainwashed away by no realisme by RT TV.
Have you noticed how many trolls have recently appeared on the site? So we are doing everything right. So the devil’s nest has been stirred up! Who does not understand what I mean, should know that the war is not only on the battlefield, and not only in the bombing.
Happy new year
why Russia eliminate 20 nebraska lgbt near Kharkov yesterday?
we announce new more competent director—miss jens holm. miss holm brings a wealth of experience in janitorial services. miss Jenny will clean up the bad publicity, sweep the dirty war failures under lgbt American rug
It seems that at the end the russian army switched on their air defense systems in Crimea. They realized that they are at war (after 6 months of combats!!). The same happened in the initail stages od the operation in Kiev. Air defenses switched off and many casualties due to negligence and lack of training. The russian army is watever, but not a professionall army in any case.
Says the defender of those criminals killing civilians and children.
How to try and distract away from the fact that you have lost the Donbass and you are now running out of manpower to keep any steam up. (U.S./UK creative arts)
The Thief of Kiev is enjoying his money piling up in his offshore accounts.
Why is the clown still alive?
What about the next one, and the next one, and the next one? The Putin cockroaches invaded another country and they still act as if they have something to fight for. Just get the fuck out of Crimea and somebody hand a gun to Vladimir Putin so he can put a bullet through his brain.
What about the next one, and the next one, and the next one? The Putin cockroaches invaded another country and they act as if they have something to fight for. The Putin terrorists have nothing to fight for. Nothing that belongs to them anyway. Because everybody knows that Vladimir Putin is a terrorist human cockroach and an international thief. The world is waiting for him to finally put a bullet through his brain. He can take his time to grow some balls and do it. I know the piece of shit is a coward.
You forgot to take your meds, pal!
Sadly Putin ist still a softhand. Otherwise he would nuke scum like you and youalikes in Telaviv, London, Brüssel and Washington. Putin will go one day and with some luck somebody will follow who wil take these steps.
That’s a new one. A Putin terrorist cockroach who thinks Vladimir Putin is too soft.
Sure he is, still holding back much of the russian military Potential. Hopefully this will Change soon.
Why so focused on Putin? Putin is a liberal who loves everything Western, he isn’t a threat to the West in any way shape or form.
Not good, Russia needs to attack Kiev and take out (Z)elensky
And still there is no response from the seemingly impotent Kremlin.
It seems like Russia has no answers and is no longer moving forward on any front, with the Ukrainians now free to target any Russian target the seem to choose. Russia’s “clashes” between forces needed to move faster and now they are seemingly moving backwards.
pantsir m what a beauty to see in action. Also rip to those that get fragments of the missle and drone on their head. hide under something strong!
Hahaha pro Ukraine trolls celebrating a firecracker victory destroying a roof tile or 2! At that rate maybe Ukraine might win back a small village in say 1000+ years? That’s been optimistic. But in reality I’d say Ukraine is pretty much phucked!
