As sea drones force Russia to retreat, Ukraine examines ways to launch more complex attacks
Ukraine's sea drones have forced Russian naval retreat near ports and plan AI-integrated longer-range strikes with NATO partners next year, officials said.
- Last month, the commander of sea-drone operations for Ukraine's military intelligence agency, call sign '13th', said strikes have `likely reached a plateau` while Russian Black Sea navy vessels `barely operate`, staying within 25 miles from port.
- Group 13, the specialized maritime drone unit, said last month sea-attack drones struck vessels in Russia's sanctions-evading `shadow fleet` of oil tankers, helping curb Black Sea dominance.
- At a recent demonstration, operators showed a V7 weapons platform fitted with modified U.S.-made Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, supported by V5 and V7 variants, while target search combines operator control and AI, with plans for deeper AI autonomy using operational video and sensor archives.
- Agreeing to deepen cooperation, Kyiv and Greece announced joint work on maritime uncrewed aerial vehicles during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit last month, while Ukraine seeks co-production with NATO countries next year.
- With an eye to future capabilities, the commander said Ukraine's military intelligence agency expects more complex, longer-range and submersible mixed-fleet operations with AI autonomy next year.
