Ukraine unveiled video footage of its recent attack on a Russian landing vessel. The video shows a naval drone carrying 450kg of explosives targeting the “Olenegorsky Gornyk.” This attack dealt a severe blow to the robust maritime vessel.
Typically, the ship operates with a crew of about 100 sailors. But, they didn’t mention how many Russian sailors might have survived this unfortunate incident. Critics argue the explosive payload was not enough to cause fatalities. Regardless, it would have caused a chaotic scramble on the ship that night.
This hint of emerging technology is sparking speculation. Many now suspect the Ukrainians are also developing undersea drones. With the capability to attack from below, the damage to Russian naval assets could be significant.
In the future, Ukraine might underscore its naval prowess with aerial drones and underwater ones. So, these stealthy, undersea machines could be the next significant cause for alarm to the Russian Navy. This development could lead to more devastating attacks on their fleet. To sum up, the future of naval warfare is moving towards the significant involvement of unmanned drones.
