Ukrainian Unmanned Drone Boat Bombards Cross-Dnipro Russian Positions

Unmanned Ukrainian drone boats armed with rocket launchers capable of firing as many as six munitions at a time are targeting Russian positions in vulnerable coastal areas.

This gives the Ukrainians an additional weapon to use against Russian forces along the Dnipro and the coast of Crimea. JL

Ukrainians probably installed a launcher for unguided air-to-ground munitions on the drone.

 

With the help of such mobile naval rocket launchers, the Defense Forces are able to attack Russian targets off the coast of Crimea.

It is possible that one of the targets could be Russian aircraft at airfields in Crimea and military equipment at parking lots. Ukrainian naval drones have undergone a very rapid development over the past year.

At the end of 2023, it became known that Sea Baby naval drones were being equipped with rocket launchers.

 

The displacement of this drone varies from 1 to 5 tons, which should provide excellent performance in the coastal zone.

In addition, such sizes will allow their deployment on the unprepared coast.

In May, Ukraine began to use naval drones with anti-aircraft missiles in combat operations. Naval drones were equipped with R-73 air-to-air missiles.
