Russian ZALA Kama USV confirmed destroyed near Snake Island by Bayraktar TB2

Published 2 September 2026

Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence Directorate claimed the destruction of a Russian ZALA Kama-type unmanned surface vessel in waters near Snake Island, with visual identification of the wreckage. Rybar, a pro-Russian milblog, effectively conceded the loss while questioning the tactical rationale for deploying the craft to an area regularly overflown by Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drones, which it identifies as the probable kill vehicle.
