Footage from the May 24, 2023 Ukrainian unmanned boat bomb operation against the Russian Black Sea Fleet shows a remote controlled amphibious munition getting through Russian defenses and reaching the target ship.

Russia released their own footage showing the successful detonation of one of the boat bombs at a safe distance which resulted in a massive blast that would likely cause significant damage if it had reached its target. They also claimed to have destroyed all three boat bombs before they could reach Russian ships, but this video proves that as a lie.
