“Currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become pioneers in the combat use of naval drones,” emphasizes Oleg Starikov.
As he explains, naval drones can be utilized for patrolling, securing maritime zones, monitoring bays, reconnaissance, surveillance, supply, transportation, rescue operations, while strike drones can be used to destroy targets, bays, and similar objectives, as well as act as a ram and a platform for MANPADS, ATGMs, and other mini-drones for subsequent attacks.
“At this time, considering that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already practiced their combat application, the strategy of a large fleet in the seas has essentially become outdated. Now everyone will transition to a mosquito fleet. Until recently, just a year ago, no one thought that small naval drones could be used at sea, but now they are being deployed. You might ask me, what about the oceans? Everything is possible in the near future,” reflects Oleg Starikov.
Moreover, the expert notes that Ukraine has demonstrated excellent use of unmanned boats in combat situations; we have indeed achieved results, and the main proof of this is that approximately 20% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed. Thus, he concludes, the enemy has proven to be unprepared to counter our UAVs.
