Ukrainian intelligence (HUR) reportedly used naval drones, including the Magura V5 and Katran platforms, to strike Russian reconnaissance assets and personnel stationed on oil platforms in the Black Sea. The Katran drones also acted as 'aircraft carriers' for interceptor drones.

The text describes the initial testing phase of naval drones, characterized by repeated cycles of loss, recovery, and repair. The Magura drone has since been significantly improved. The Katran system's role as a 'carrier' for interceptor drones is emphasized, with a specific operation mentioned where Katran operators destroyed Russian reconnaissance assets and personnel on oil platforms in the Black Sea, thereby facilitating subsequent Ukrainian strikes on enemy targets.
