“Exclusive: New Ukrainian Underwater Drone Project To Dominate The Black Sea”
“Sea drones are reshaping naval combat in the Black Sea. Ukraine has had a major advantage so far, but as the Russian Navy gets better at countering them this lead is under threat. Now a Ukrainian project seeks to introduce highly capable Western underwater drones to the fight.”
“Imagine a future where Ukrainian submersibles sink Russian warships far out in the Black Sea. Project FURY, which is preparing for the next Ukrainian government defense hackathon, is daring to do just that.
The naval war in the Black Sea is the first in history to have been shaped by uncrewed platforms. Ukraine was quick to innovate with uncrewed boats (USVs) and has so far seemed one step ahead of the Russian Navy. But their lead is under threat.
Project FURY (First Ukrainian Robotic Navy), which will be present at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense’s ‘Offensive of Machines’ hackathon on January 28, is looking at the natural evolution of the uncrewed battle.”
