It was not possible to persuade Musk to turn back on the connection, so Ukraine modified the drones.
Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, Commander of the Navy, Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and Brigadier General of the Security Service Military Counterintelligence who goes by the alias Hunter and is the mastermind behind the entire surface vessel programme, watched the progress of these operations from a protected bunker.
Hunter said that these were the first samples of surface vessels, and some of them sank or spontaneously exploded on the way to Sevastopol Bay.
However, five vessels, each carrying 108 kilograms of TNT, made it through the waves and were approaching Sevastopol.
