Odesa region, Russian forces used suicide drones to sink the Ukrainian electronic reconnaissance ship "Simferopol" at the mouth of the Danube River. This electronic reconnaissance ship usually hid in a port in Romania, and the Russians had no real way to deal with it. However, this time, the Russians launched a suicide boat from Crimea to lie in ambush, finally destroying the reconnaissance ship.
The Ukrainian side said the ship did not sink, one person died, several people went missing, and the rest of the crew returned safely. The "Simferopol" is not a dedicated reconnaissance ship. Its predecessor was the Soviet "Cherkasy" class (Chekasy class) long-range tugboat built in the 1970s. Ukraine made significant modifications to it, removing some towing equipment, and installed various electronic reconnaissance (ELINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) antennas, receivers, and processing systems, enabling it to monitor, intercept, and analyze radio communications, radar signals, and other electronic intelligence. It was re-commissioned in 2005.
