DRAMATIC new footage has emerged showing Ukraine’s Sea Baby drone wreaking havoc on Russian positions and terrorising Putin’s troops.
Unlike Kamikaze drones that blow up near enemy targets, the advanced Sea Baby drones are designed to attack and return to the battlefield to fight another day.

Incredible footage released by Kyiv’s troops shows these powerful unmanned boats firing deadly rockets straight into the air to target Russian positions.
This includes Russian-occupied areas of Kinburn Spit, which extends west into the Black Sea between the Dnipro-Bug estuary and Yahorlyk Bay.
With a range of up to 1,000km, these advanced drones can be seen hitting long-range targets with accuracy while defending themselves from being damaged by enemy attacks.
Military bosses are understood to have assembled a team of specialists from across the fields to ramp up the production of these drones.
And they are being made in “underground” factories which Putin’s missiles cannot reach.
Vasyl Malyuk, head of Ukraine’s security service SBU said: “The Security Service of Ukraine has brought together the best specialists from many fields.
“These are engineers, programmers, and sailors currently working on the production and further successful use of naval drones.
“This is a production facility. It is located in Ukraine at one of the underground factories.”
A spokesman for the SBU said: “This is not a classic kamikaze drone whose task is to find a target, hit it and explode.
“These are drones that perform tasks and return to the base.
“In particular, SBU drones can be used to carry out remote mining, and they can also be used to [deploy] various types of weapons, including Grad systems.
“So the new generation of SSU Sea Baby drones – which all Ukrainians can donate to – are already being used in combat.
“One example of such use is strikes on [Russian] positions on the Kinburn Spit from rocket launchers.”
Ukraine’s military has mastered drone warfare since Putin first invaded the country in February 2022.
Since early 2023, the cheap, explosive, flying machines have become one of Kyiv’s biggest success stories on the battlefield.
Ukraine’s “Achilles” troops are specialised drone warfare units within the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, playing a pivotal role in Ukraine’s ongoing defence against Russian forces.
These troops have gained recognition for their expertise in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat, particularly in repelling Russian assaults and destroying enemy equipment.
The battalion operates highly effective UAVs, such as the “Vampire” drones, which have been instrumental in targeting Russian positions and equipment, particularly in nighttime operations.
It comes after Ukrainian troops took on Putin’s soldiers in a frontline town in true Call of Duty style.
Incredible footage showed the relentless battle on the streets of Toretsk, in the war-torn Donetsk region.
The two-minute video shared on X shows Ukrainian units of the Lyut Assault Brigade at work as they wipe out enemy troops.
Just like in video games, a red frame would flash at every moment one of Mad Vlad‘s men – who would have a Russian flag indicating their position – was hit.
A pair of dark wings would then be added to the flag once the enemy was wiped out.
The action-packed clip begins with Kyiv‘s brave men heading to the battleground in a truck before they unload the vehicle and head off to fight.
A series of POV scenes unfolds showing the flawless battle tactics on the ravaged streets of Toretsk as blasts can be seen and heard in the background.
Located close to the frontlines of the war in eastern Ukraine, Toretsk has been heavily affected by the war.
How Russia is using war wolves to combat drones
By Nick Parker, Foreign Editor
RUSSIA has deployed war wolves on the Ukraine front line — because the beasts react early to kamikaze drone sounds.
Troops say the howling animals have a good sense of smell, are sociable and active, and can warn of danger in advance.
Two tamed wolves have been sent to serve with Vladimir Putin’s soldiers and more will follow if the experiment is a success.
A Russian news agency reported: “The predators can hear the approach of drones and warn of danger in advance.
“They will help Russian soldiers carry out combat missions in the [war] zone.”
The two females were rescued from Siberian region Khakassia and raised by wolf-tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
In a video, he can be seen feeding ice cream to one of the wolves, called Vysota.
He said: “The puppies were simply brought to me by hunters without a mother.
“They have excellent intuition and are smart.”
Moscow State Circus chief Edgard Zapashny said: “I hope these two female wolves, who will now be with our fighters, will not be harmed, and that the men will surround them with care and ensure their safety.
“In turn, they will save the lives of our soldiers.”
