Original: How Ukraine's Naval Drones Are Remaking War at Sea https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/world/europe/ukraine-naval-drones-
A new report examines how Ukraine's uncrewed naval drones are transforming combat in the Black Sea, allowing the country to challenge Russia's fleet despite lacking a traditional navy. The piece highlights the drones' role in striking warships and disrupting Russian shipping, underscoring a wider shift toward cheap, remote-controlled maritime weapons in modern warfare.
Why now: Interest in how low-cost drone technology is offsetting conventional naval power in the Ukraine war.
