SBU demonstrates next generation of Sea Baby drones

The State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has demonstrated a new generation of unmanned sea platforms named Sea Baby, which have already been tested in successful missions in the Black Sea.

On Wednesday, the SBU posted photos and videos of the work of Sea Baby in its Telegram channel, noting that these sea drones were involved in the third defeat of the Crimean bridge, which took place on June 3, 2025.

"Our drones have changed the balance of power in the Black Sea and have proven their effectiveness. The new generation of Sea Baby is even more effective. Therefore, the work to clear the Black Sea of the Russian fleet will continue. The enemy will feel the full power of our technological developments," the message says, quoting SBU chief Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk.

According to Brigadier General of the SBU Ivan Lukashevich ("Hunter"), during this year’s attack on the Crimean Bridge, the Sea Baby drones delivered explosives to the desired point, which blew up the supports of this illegal structure.

"The new modifications of the Sea Baby were built with funds collected by Ukrainians on the fundraising platform UNITED24," the Ukrainian special service specified.

"The SBU development team demonstrated two drones with different weapons. The first is equipped with a gyro-stabilized machine gun mount, which has an auto-capture and target recognition system. The second carries heavy weapons: a 10-round Grad multiple launch rocket system," the report says.

"The SBU is the ideologist of a new type of naval warfare. We are constantly looking for effective means to maintain Ukraine’s superiority in the Black Sea for as long as possible. The task of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is to neutralize the powerful Russian naval Black Sea fleet. We are actively working on this," Lukashevich said.

According to the report, the SBU is constantly developing other models of the latest weapons and has already successfully used them in the Black Sea. However, detailed information about these means is not yet subject to disclosure.

The Ukrainian special service recalls that the active use of unmanned platforms by Ukraine forced the Russian Federation to relocate most of its military vessels to the Novorossiysk Bay and allowed the "grain corridor" to be unblocked.
