A new video of the defeat of the Russian reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs has appeared on the network, which shows the detonation of one of the sea drones. The video was published by the UP in its social networks, citing its own sources among the military.

The published video, taken from the opposite angle on the starboard side of the ship, probably recorded the defeat of the ship by one of the sea drones.
“Military” writes that, despite the poor quality of the video, you can see the flash from the detonation of one of the kamikaze drones, the epicenter of the explosion fell on the stern area on the port side.
The published video does not allow us to confidently judge the possible damage to the reconnaissance vessel, however, it allows us to look at the incident from a different angle.
A video released on May 25 from the onboard camera of a marine drone shows how it breaks through a dense barrage and hits the stern of the ship, but at the time of the collision, the video link is cut off, so it is not known whether the drone’s warhead detonated. The new video can serve as confirmation of the successful completion of the mission.
On May 24, the Russian Ministry of Defense published a statement about the attack on the Ivan Khurs ship and the successful interception of all drones.
However, already on May 25, footage appeared on the network in which at least one drone breaks through the defenses of the ship and hits its side. The video caused a great resonance in society and caused a whole wave of “fake” videos of an undamaged ship in the roadstead or when entering the port, which actually turned out to be footage from previous years.
On May 26, Russian media began to publish a video of a Project 18280 ship entering the Sevastopol Bay, which, allegedly, is the same Ivan Khurs.
