    Well from the footage you can see they aim for vulnerable spots; the drones do have quite the payload, but in comparison to the size of those ships the actual impact area is pretty small, and therefore the chance to hit a person is also low. Those ships don’t have much crew for their size, and if i am a sailor knowing that Ukraine is wrecking ships every night, i would probably hide somewhere and not stand near sensitive equipment.

      I’ve seen multiple videos where they fly directly into the bridge though, or elsewhere in the main superstructure, which is where you would expect the crew to be.

        Unless you are running on autopilot - since you can’t outrun drones in one of those things, i would program a course and then hide somewhere if i knew what’s up.

          That’s what I’m thinking as well, they know the drones are in the area, and hide down in the bowels of the ship.

          It would be funny if they ran into each other while this was happening.

          Pretty sure they are anchored. Which is why they’re so closely spaced and an easy target. So really no need for anyone on the bridge especially after being attacked multiple times in the last week.

            They have stopped ship traffic from entering the sea of Azov, so i am pretty sure that was moving ship traffic.

              Which days? I’ve watched several (I believe all of them) and the vast majority seem to be at stationary with no wake and no heat in the funnels. I’d say maybe 1 in 10 seem to be moving, usually the tugs which would really have little reason to be at anchor anyway.
