Bayraktars have been laying waste to the Russians on Snake Island over the past few days. In this video they take out a Tor SAM system that's sitting on a landing ship (you can see the radar spinning if you look close) as well as a building on the island. Scroll up in the thread to see Bayraktars taking out other SAM systems and AA cannons and boats, all to some fantastic tunes. The buildings on the island are supposedly leveled now.

Remarkable how successful these really slow drones have been against Russian air defenses. NYT in their article about the Moskva sinking seemed to indicate the rumors of a Bayraktar distracting the Moskva was true as well.
Snake Island is very strategically located to interdict naval traffic through Odessa and the western Ukrainian coast and Ukraine has worked it over thoroughly. Might be a costly bit of land for Russia to continue to try and hold.
