The Russians have long feared losing warships to Ukrainian drone attacks.
They even painted some ships with camouflage stripes, hoping it would confuse drone sensors.
But the latest Ukrainian missile attack on a shipyard in Sevastopol damaged two ships anyway.

The success of Ukraine's latest missile strike on a major shipyard in Russian-controlled Crimea appears to show just how futile Russia's defenses were.
