Russia Induct Ship-Launched Kamikaze Drones against Ukrainian Attacks

Defense News ,Russia :- The Russian Navy is getting ready to add a special kind of drone to its fleet. This drone can be launched from ships and boats. It's made to help protect naval vessels from attacks by Ukrainian drones in the sea.

The drone, which hasn't been named yet, can attack targets both on land and in the sea. This information comes from a Russian news source called Izvestia, which got the details from reliable sources.

Why the Drone Was Made

Russia started thinking about making this drone after a military exercise in 2021. In that exercise, they used other types of drones to help protect their marines when they landed on the coast. It worked well against small boats operated by saboteurs.

Challenges in Using the Drone

Even though this drone has many advantages, it's not easy to use. Military experts say it's hard to control drones over the sea because there are no landmarks like there are on land.

According to Dmitry Boltenkov, a military expert mentioned in Izvestia, one big problem is that it's tough to control the drone's flight over water.

But despite these challenges, the drone has a lot of good points. For example, it can hit Ukrainian sea targets without needing to come close to the shore.

Why Russia Needs This Defense

Since the war began, Ukrainian drones have been attacking Russian ships. Some have even sunk or damaged Russian vessels. Because of this, Russia had to change its Navy chief.

The attacks have pushed the Russian Black Sea Fleet back. This has made it easier for Ukraine to move ships and has stopped Russian forces from watching the battleground all the time.
