The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and Magur drones set five records. They were included in the Book of Records of Ukraine. This is reported by "Channel 24".
All records were carried out during the defense of Ukraine, when fighters destroyed enemy equipment. The military for their operations used Magur's marine drones, which helped to successfully accomplish all the tasks. The marine drones were developed by Ukrainian engineers.
"This multi-purpose marine platform has proven its effectiveness and shown that it is the best in the world at this stage. Because no one else has been able to sink ships at this stage," said GUR chief Kirill Budanov.
Official record registration took place at Ukraine's Military Intelligence Museum, which now has a separate exposition dedicated to Magur's drones.
A representative of the Ukrainian Record Book Andrey Masyuk said the operations of the GUR are unique on a global scale. Ukraine, he said, can create innovations and thus change the course of the war.
"This is a colossal work, which significantly weakened the enemy fleet and changed the balance of power at sea. You are true masters of your craft," said the representative of the Ukrainian Book of Records.
