Description
Tarantul-class (Project 12411) missile corvette sunk on 1 February 2024 by a swarm of six Ukrainian MAGURA V5 uncrewed surface vessels in Lake Donuzlav, western Crimea. Dramatic video released by GUR military intelligence unit "Group 13" showed the drones striking the corvette from multiple angles until she rolled and sank stern-first. Armed with four P-270 Moskit supersonic anti-ship missiles, Ivanovets displaced 493 tonnes. The operation demonstrated the effectiveness of coordinated drone swarm tactics against defended warships.
