Ukraine Drone Boats Launch FPVs To Destroy Russian Attack Near Kherson

On the Dnipro River near Kherson, Ukrainian Marines used FPV drones launched from Barracuda sea drones to attack a Russian troop rotation being carried out by boats. 

In another example of the evolving technological war, the Ukrainian drones destroyed the Russian vessels and the troops they were carrying. JL

Sofia Syngaivska reports in Defense Express:

Ukrainian Marines used unmanned surface vessels to launch FPV strike drones against Russian boats near Zaliznyi Port in the Kherson region, disrupting an attempted troop rotation and destroying the enemy landing party and its boats. The operation was carried out using Ukrainian Barracuda unmanned surface vessels, which served as launch platforms for FPV strike drones. Russian forces attempted to disrupt the operation by attacking one of the Ukrainian USVs with two Shahed-type strike drones. The cost of the Russian Shaheds was significantly higher than that of the target they were used against. One of the Ukrainian boats was damaged in the attack, but the remaining vessels continued the mission.

Ukraine's 40th Brigade has reported disrupting russian troop rotation near Zaliznyi Port in Kherson region using strike drones launched from Ukrainian unmanned boats.

According to the brigade, the operation targeted russian personnel attempting to conduct a rotation by water. Ukrainian forces released footage showing the attack on the enemy landing party and the destruction of the boats involved. 

The operation was carried out using Ukrainian Barracuda unmanned surface vessels, which served as launch platforms for FPV strike drones. The boats, operated by the marines, approached the designated launch area before deploying the drones against russian vessels. 

Russian forces attempted to disrupt the operation by attacking one of the Ukrainian USVs with two Shahed-type strike drones. The brigade noted that the cost of the russian drones was significantly higher than that of the target they were used against.

One of the Ukrainian boats was damaged in the attack, but the remaining vessels continued the mission. After reaching the launch point, the USVs launched FPV drones, which were then directed toward russian boats carrying the personnel. 

The Ukrainian operators quickly identified the enemy vessels and carried out a series of precise strikes. According to the brigade, the attacks destroyed the russian landing party and prevented the planned troop rotation.
