Video: Ukraine Claims First Strike in the Mediterranean on Shadow Tanker
Ukraine released a video reporting has attacked a tanker in the Mediterranean (SBU video)
Published Dec 19, 2025 9:52 AM by The Maritime Executive
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is continuing its Deep Strike Special Operations, reporting it struck a shadow fleet oil tanker in the Mediterranean. The vessel is reporting a position south of Crete, which would be more than 2,000 km (1,250 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
Ukraine’s SBU released a video reporting that it used multiple airborne drones to attack the tanker currently operating under the name of Qendil. The video appears to show several strikes midship on the tanker, which was reported to be empty. Ukraine is claiming “critical damage” to the vessel, saying it has been taken out of service. The vessel’s AIS signal shows it is underway at a speed of approximately 10 knots.
Ukrainian media is reporting that Russian sources are claiming that two crewmembers were killed in the attack and that seven people were wounded. These reports have not been verified.
Ukraine called the ship a legitimate target, saying it was in “neutral waters of the Mediterranean.” They said the ship was targeted because it was circumventing sanctions and was used to earn money for Russia.
AIS signals show the tanker departed India at the beginning of the month. It had been showing the Russian oil terminal at Ust-Luga as its destination, but that was later switched to Turkey.
The ship, which was built in 2006, was sanctioned by the UK in February 2025 and the EU in July 2025. It is an Aframax tanker (115,338 dwt) with the databases listing its owners in India. The ship is reported to have had three names in 2025 and been flag-hopping. It currently lists its flag as Oman, but earlier this year was listing Palau, Guinea-Bissau, and Djibouti.
This is the latest in a series of long-range attacks Ukraine has been staging, focusing on the Russian energy industry. It has taken credit for three drone attacks on shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. Another tanker was heavily damaged off Senegal. In addition, Ukraine has claimed at least three long-range attacks on oil platforms in the Caspian Sea and an attack on the inland port of Rostov-on-Don.

U.S. Navy Test-Launches an Iranian Drone Clone From a Ship's Helideck
Published Dec 18, 2025 11:23 PM by The Maritime Executive
Iran has perfected the high-volume, low-cost suicide drone with the Shahed-136, a small piston-engined one way attack drone used by Iranian and Russian forces. Thousands have been built and launched at Ukrainian bases, seaports, powerplants and apartment blocks, to devastating effect. Since the ubiquitous Shahed is combat-proven and easy to mass-produce, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are skipping clean-sheet R&D and are testing an American adaptation of the infamous Iranian design.
On Tuesday, the Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Santa Barbara (LCS-32) launched a LUCAS-brand variant of the Shahed-136 from her helicopter deck. The device was prepared and dispatched by a specialized drone squadron, "Task Force Scorpion Strike," which is assigned to introduce new unmanned systems to Central Command.
Like the original Shahed, LUCAS can be launched in multiple ways from multiple platforms. It can lift off with rocket-assisted takeoff, as used aboard USS Santa Barbara, or a vehicle-mounted catapult can give it a boost. Once airborne, it will perform a variety of tasks, including surveillance and one-way strike. Weaponization and automated target recognition are in the works for future development. (Currently the payload is an inert mass for testing.)
For the Pentagon, the Shahed's appeal is in its simplicity and manufacturability, the same qualities that have endeared it to Russian operators. "There is a price point that we want to produce a lot of these in a rapid fashion," said Col. Nicholas Law, a senior Pentagon R&D officer, in a statement earlier this month. "It’s not a single manufacturer: it’s designed to go to multiple manufacturers to be built in mass quantities."
The LUCAS device was created by American drone company SpektreWorks, and is a reverse-engineered and scaled-down copy of the Iranian original. The addition of a flat-panel terminal on the tail provides a beyond-line-of-sight satcom uplink, allowing remote monitoring and control in contested environments. Most remarkable of all, the SpektreWorks device's cost is reported to be in the same price range as Iran's original version, which is believed to be in the low- to mid-five digits.
For the Navy, a deck-launched Shahed variant is a new way to add lightweight, long-range strike capability onto small platforms like the LCS, which has limited organic capability for that mission set. The Independence-class is currently slated to fill a patrol and minesweeping role in Central Command; as a platform of opportunity for Shahed drone launches, it would be able to do more.
“This first successful launch of LUCAS from a naval vessel marks a significant milestone in rapidly delivering affordable and effective unmanned capabilities to the warfighter,” Vice Adm. Curt Renshaw, commander U.S. Fifth Fleet, in a statement announcing the launch.
