Ukraine’s naval drones are no longer targeting only ships

Ukraine’s naval drones are now being used in land operations as well. They can launch FPV drones, carry missiles and transport ground robots into combat zones for assault missions.

TodayPress TV reports, citing Business Insider, that the publication has covered these developments.

According to the report, unmanned surface vessels previously used against Russian ships in the Black Sea have now evolved into multifunctional combat platforms.

According to Ukraine’s Defence Ministry’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR), drones launched from the Magura platform destroyed a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defence system in August, struck two S-400 launchers and hit a control antenna for Orion unmanned aerial vehicles.

In addition, in july, a naval drone transported a ground robot to the Kinburn Spit to carry out a combat mission.

Manufacturers are also currently testing the launch of heavy-strike Nemesis drones from naval platforms. This technology could enable Ukraine to strike Russian targets located far beyond its coastline.
