Russian helicopter battles upgraded Ukrainian sea drone armed with surface-to-air missile

Ukraine has started arming its naval drones with anti-aircraft missiles as it looks to counter Russia’s dominance of the skies above the Black Sea.

A video released by the Russian Defence Ministry showed a gritty dogfight playing out in the Black Sea between a Ukrainian drone armed with at least one missile and a Russian helicopter.

Against an azure blue sky, the tiny Ukrainian drone swerves and skids across the calm sea as it tries to dodge machine gun fire from the chasing attack helicopter.
