Скачать или смотреть Ukrainian Sea Drone Drops 2 Russian Fighters with Sidewinders

Hey friends, Wes here. In this episode, we’re covering a true battlefield first: Ukraine’s Magura-7 sea drone just splashed two Russian Su-30 fighter jets with American-made AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. You heard that right—a naval drone, not a jet, just swatted two manned aircraft in open water.

This isn’t just a cool trick. It’s a tectonic shift in how airspace is contested.

🔹 In this video, I break down:

• The strike itself near Novorossiysk—two Su-30s gone, no human casualties on Ukraine’s side
• The Magura-7 drone’s transformation from a sabotage platform to a floating anti-air system
• How engineers in Ukraine managed to adapt the AIM-9—a missile designed for jets—for sea-based vertical launch
• The fire-control nightmare of launching from a sea drone: sea spray, unstable deck, low speeds… and still the missile flew true
• The evolution of the Magura platform from its early days (R-73 hits on Mi-8s) to now—airspace denial from the water
• Why this changes everything for Russia’s pilots, patrols, and projection of power in the Black Sea

📡 This isn’t some fringe science project. This is NATO-grade missile tech, being repurposed by Ukraine into a mobile, decentralized, sea-skimming air denial network. Russia now has to account for ambush SAMs that don’t light up radar, can’t be geolocated, and cost a fraction of the jets they destroy.

If you're into military innovation, asymmetric warfare, or just love watching Russia get outplayed by smart, scrappy engineering and battlefield creativity, hit that subscribe button. We're building a community that cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually matters on the modern battlefield.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine. Слава Україні!
