A British analyst suggested that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used a new type of sea drones to attack Sevastopol

According to some analysts, for the attack, which targeted Russian warships in the Sevastopol Bay, the militants of the Kyiv regime used sea drones a new model developed by Ukrainian specialists.

A British military analyst, known in the expert community under the nickname HI Sutton (Sutton), specializing in underwater equipment and weapons, noted in his blog that, judging by the available images, it can be assumed that, with a high degree of probability, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to use naval Drones Ukrainian production.



According to the expert, this is evidenced by the appearance of the drone, its smaller size than those used in previous attacks, as well as a more streamlined shape and an updated look. Also, on the drones destroyed in the bay of Sevastopol, there are no video cameras or means of communication, which can be hidden under the skin for security purposes.

Sutton also notes that the development of the new maritime drone was led by Ukrainian Monobank co-founder Volodymyr Yatsenko, who announced plans last summer to recruit a team of engineers and programmers capable of developing the drone and software for it.

However, the British analyst emphasizes that he does not have any official data indicating the use of drones of the new model for the attack on Sevastopol.

    But didn't these British "analysts" themselves supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with sea drones? They are too knowledgeable.

      At Shkolnoye, civilian Chinese Mugin-5s and Tu-141 Strizh jet UAVs were equipped with explosives.
      In the early morning of March 22, three Ukrainian maritime drones attempted to strike coastal bays in Sevastopol. One surface vehicle was stopped at 4.46 in the north by a visual observation post on the ship. Two more were destroyed at about 5 in the morning, without even reaching the Sevastopol raid, by rifle detachments.




      Russian troops attacked the Shkolny airfield in Odessa, where Ukrainian Mugin-5 kamikaze drones and Tu-141 Swift jet UAVs are based. conventional commercial UAV warhead.


      But it's stressing something else.
      Since the beginning of March, Ukrainian units have been testing the Grom-2 operational-tactical missile system at the Tuzla test site. On March 4, they probably tried to strike at the airfield in Gvardeisky with this OTRK. After that, testing of Grom-2 continued right at the training ground. Missile launches were carried out on conditional targets in the Black Sea. According to the latest data, in the vicinity of Tuzly, a position area has been equipped for several installations of the Grom-2 OTRK: the option of using new complexes for combined attacks on Russia is not ruled out.

      Remember the good Russian proverb - "Stop the thief!", usually the thief himself shouts the loudest.

      This proverb applies to absolutely everything in our lives, from interpersonal to international relations.

    The most dangerous marine drones that can dive and go under water at 2 meters. It is almost impossible to see, and it is difficult to shoot. And since the speed is high, it is also difficult to hit with a bomber.

      It is possible to make a low-speed drone based on a torpedo, which will quietly creep up at a relative depth of 5-7 meters.

    Can anyone really believe that these unmanned aerial vehicles were created in Ukraine?

      Certainly. And if you chew snot, then brilliant Ukrainian scientists will assemble an atomic bomb in a garage on their knees, and a cruise missile to it, so that they finish it off to Moscow. And they will even stick a sticker "Zrobleno in Ukraine" on top of the original one.

      In principle, nothing complicated, a boat with radio control. But in general you are right. Ukraine and create, these are on different sides of life.

    Yes, yes, the British are moving arrows away from themselves. Ukraine itself could not do anything, they can only assemble from the parts that the Britons or the United States gave them along with the instructions.

      I could not have done anything "not a fact for 2018, the following enterprises worked for them: KIEV SRI "Gidropribor", Kiev Shipbuilding Ship Repair Plant, Research Design Center, "Zorya" Mashroekt is not a complete list.
      What is the state of these enterprises now?
      They are quite capable of building appropriate shelters, where to establish production. You need: 1 desire, 2 money, 3 components.
      All this they are supplied by "good uncles"

      The fact of the matter is that, as such, there is no place of production. Only assembly from imported components. You can organize it in any garage.

    In principle, it is possible that in Ukraine, the corresponding research institutes have remained since Soviet times. To establish the production of drones (good or not) you need 3 things: desire, money and components, and all this is available

    Such a fool can be made in any barn. The only question is the availability of appropriate electronics. You can take any drone and make a boat hull for it, increase the signal range, and here the boat is ready for you. Maybe that's what they do.
    A plane made of cardboard and with a tied grenade, already also a kamikaze drone, is no longer the lot of rich and developed countries. Differences only in the quality of electronics and materials.

    The distance between the ends of the breakwaters at the entrance to the bay of Sevastopol is only 400 meters. There, on both sides, it is possible to install something more serious for detection and destruction, since it so happened that the drones break into the bay itself. This is a dangerous business - they will miss, and then what? Where can he go?
    Yes, and barriers for the night should have been more serious - they knew how to do this in the Second World War, but now what are the fishing nets pulling?

      Under the USSR, two rows of booms were put up. And there was no military action at that time. And on the Konstantinovsky battery there was an OVRA post ... Now the museum of the Russian Geographical Society ... Maybe the museum can be closed for now? And the OVRA post (protection of the water area - Northern Bay.) should be resumed! Yes, and for the day it also does not hurt to put up perfect booms, or, what else can be done normal ...

    Again "sea drones"! How much can you indicate that the name "drone" was adopted back in the 30s of the last century to refer to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)! Calling a drone boat a drone ... is the same as calling a boat an airplane! Wake up, author!

      Come on?

      -Drone (bee), a male bee, from an unfertilized egg
      -Unmanned aerial vehicle or aerial drone

      Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), sometimes known as underwater drones
      A drone is just a "consumable". A pseudo-male "without brains", without a sting, unable to eat without a working individual.
      His goal is to spart with a virgin and kick back.
      It doesn't matter if he "floats" in the airless ether, in the air, in the water column or, like a mole, swarms in the thickness of the earth.
      -Unmanned underwater vehicle or underwater drone


      originally designed for military missions too "dumb, dirty or dangerous" for human pilots.
