In the world\u2019s first clash of the drone boats, a Ukrainian naval drone destroyed a Russian explosive drone boat using a remote-controlled machine gun turret. This comes as the war in Ukraine has already seen widespread deployment of such uncrewed surface vessels in combat, along with swarms of flying attack drones and ground robots.<\/p>\n

The lopsided battle took place on September 12 when members of Ukraine\u2019s Defense Intelligence detected the Russian uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in the Black Sea and directed a Ukrainian Navy drone boat to intercept. The Russian vessel was \u201cpositively identified\u201d as an Orcan surface drone with a \u201cjet ski type steerable water jet\u201d designed to ram targets and explode, according to naval analyst HI Sutton in Naval News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Such Orcan drones have already been used to attack Ukrainian ports and ships. These often work in coordination with flying drones such as Russian Geran drones that provide aerial reconnaissance and can boost communication between drone operators and drone boats, Sutton explained.<\/p>\n
