Not propaganda · agenda: Ukraine drones Russia via Baltics

Belief the Pravda network pushes: Ukraine is launching massive drone attacks on Russian energy and civilian infrastructure, often from the Baltic states, while Russia only strikes Ukrainian military targets

The video reports that Ukrainian drones hit the Russian missile ship Naro-Fominsk in the Gulf of Finland, citing the SBU, OSINT sources and an Estonian colonel, and says the crew casualties and damage are still unconfirmed.

The video says · at 1:18 · quote checked against the transcript

“Kelmas says some drones briefly entered Estonian airspace for minutes, not hours.”

Kelmas says some drones briefly entered Estonian airspace for minutes, not hours.

The video neutrally attributes its claims to the SBU, OSINT sources and an Estonian officer. It describes a strike on a military target and does not say Ukraine attacks civilian infrastructure from the Baltics or that Baltic states cooperate with the attacks. The Estonian airspace mention is sourced and limited, and it notes that Estonia chose not to shoot the drones down.

0:00 A Russian missile warship was hit by

0:02 Ukrainian drones in the Gulf of Finland.

0:05 Now, Estonia's military says members of

0:07 its crew were killed. Here is what we

0:09 know. On November 11th, Ukraine's

0:12 security service, the SBU, said its

0:15 drones struck the Narofaminsk. It came

0:18 during a large drone operation against

0:20 Russia's Lengrad region, including the

0:22 oil port of US Tuga. [music] The

0:25 Narofaminsk is a Baymass missile ship of

0:28 Russia's Baltic Fleet. Defense Express

0:30 says it was launched in December 2022

0:32 and carries 8 caliber cruise missiles

0:34 and a 100 millm gun. The Austin Channel

0:38 Exile Nova Plus says the ship was hit

0:40 near Goggland Island about 180 km from

0:43 St. Petersburg. [music] A senior Finnish

0:45 official told Eel an attack was detected

0:47 there about 40 km from [music] Finland.

0:51 Colonel Aaron Kelmas, a deputy division

0:54 commander in Estonia's defense forces,

0:56 told a briefing the ship was hit by a

0:58 significant number of drones. He says

1:00 Estonia knows the number, but will not

1:03 reveal it. [music]

1:05 Calm says the ship first sailed towards

1:07 St. Petersburg on its own. Then it

1:09 stopped and could not continue and an

1:11 extra escort vessel moved it. Crew

1:13 members were killed and wounded, he

1:15 says, but he gave no numbers.

1:18 Kelmas says some drones briefly entered

1:20 Estonian airspace for minutes, not

1:23 hours. NATO jets in the Baltics

1:25 responded, including Turkish jets at

1:27 Amari. Estonia chose not to shoot, he

1:30 says, so debris would not fall on

1:31 Russia. He says Ukraine's drone accuracy

1:35 has improved. At US Tuga, Calm says the

1:38 port's handling capacity fell from about

1:40 700,000 tons a day to 300,000.

1:45 Ukraine has hit Baltic fleet ships

1:47 before, but in port at Baltisk in 2024,

1:51 then at Vborg and Kronstat. Analysts

1:54 call this the first hit on a Russian

1:55 warship at sea there. Still unknown. How

1:59 many drones hit, how many sailors died,

2:01 and how badly the ship is damaged. The

2:04 SBU has not disclosed the damage, and

2:06 Estonia has kept the numbers secret. Can

2:10 Russia protect its Baltic fleet from

2:12 drones? Tell us in the comments.
