As reported by NBN with reference to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the fleet of the aggressor country for the first time used the Kronstadt Orion strike drone to eliminate the Ukrainian aquadrone.
According to analysts from the Institute for the Study of War, the above-described fact indicates that the Russian Federation is developing innovative methods to combat Ukrainian aquadrones in the waters of the Black Sea.
In particular, according to Russian “war correspondents”, the Kronstadt Orion was launched from an unidentified enemy vessel, which, judging by everything, is the first documented case of the use of attack drones of this type by a Russian ship, and, judging by everything, such actions by the invaders will be able to minimize the high efficiency of Ukrainian unmanned boats in the Black Sea.
In addition, the “mouthpieces of the Kremlin” have already begun to call on the Russian leadership to expand the production of weapons similar to the X-UAV (TKB-1030) missiles for the effective destruction of Ukrainian naval drones (we are talking about the Magura-V5 missiles), which have demonstrated the potential in the “splashdown” of Russian Mi-8 helicopters operating over the Black Sea.
ISW summed up:
…Russian troops have developed a new method to try to neutralize this tactical adaptation of Ukrainian naval drones.
