Yusov said that high-quality Ukrainian naval drones helped to destroy Ivanovets, continuing to demonstrate their effectiveness.
"We witnessed a direct hit, footage now seen by the entire world. It is a serious, important, and successful special operation by the HUR and Group 13, and such operations will undoubtedly continue," stated the HUR representative.
He said that it is "truly a significant result," as the Russian Black Sea Fleet had only three similar missile boats, and now – minus one.
Yusov stated that Ivanovets was to some extent the "pride" of the occupiers' fleet, but "this pride could not handle the challenges" – the corvette was destroyed during its combat duty "with no hope for recovery," and rescue efforts also yielded no results.
The HUR released a video of the missile boat's destruction:
