As a result of a series of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship sustained damage incompatible with further movement. The guided missile corvette Ivanovets heeled to the stern and sank. The footage shows how, after one of the drones hit, several more hit the same spot, significantly widening the hole in the side.
Presumably, another successful hit was on the stern of a vessel.
It should be noted that the crew of the Project 12411 guided missile corvette consists of 40 people.
