intense drone war we have ever seen. they are and integral part of the battle space because both sides, russia and ukraine, have effective air defences, so it is too dangerous for piloted aircraft to fly to close to the front line, or at least a very long. we have seen a ramping up of drones, both aerial but also interestingly, something we ve been looking into, maritime drones, boat bombs, see drones, but basically remotely piloted 5.5 metre long boats, newbury on them, steered from the shore with explosive on board to hit targets quite deep into russian territory nobody on board them. in the last month the ukrainians have managed to hit back by sending explosive sea drones all the way round crimea to hit russian targets. and this is what one of these sea drones looks like. it s technically called an uncrewed surface vessel. a usv. they are 5.5 metres long, made by the ukrainians, and the manufacturers

it seems like other defences on those ships were not really turned on or were not even available. and so, once again, this is basically an asymmetric response by ukraine, where a relatively small, relatively inexpensive usv can target a much larger vessel. and the damage from such a strike could be many magnitudes greater than the cost of this particular unmanned vessel. yeah, ukraine hasn t publicly commented, but what could the widening use of these kind of drones mean for ukraine and their fight for survival? well, they can target russian vessels, apparently not necessarily with ease, but if enough of these usvs are actually in the black sea, it can make it very difficult for russian naval vessels to basically pass through and to navigate. it can make it difficult for logistical and supply ships to navigate as well. russian ships could also be hit in port, just like yesterday s attack showed.
