Ukrainian naval drone sinks Russian kamikaze drone boat
Ukraine reports what is described as a military milestone: a Ukrainian uncrewed naval drone has sunk a Russian kamikaze drone boat, marking a rare drone-versus-drone engagement at sea. The clash highlights how uncrewed surface vessels are becoming both attack weapons and targets in the Black Sea conflict, as both sides race to counter each other's fast-evolving maritime drone technology.
Why now: It is presented as a first-of-its-kind drone-versus-drone naval engagement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
