Much attention has been justifiably directed at the remarkable performance of both military and consumer UAVs in assisting Ukraine’s efforts to rebuff invading Russian forces. But soon, news may also be generated by drone boats similarly turning the tides for Ukraine defenses in coastal waters of the Black Sea.
As part of its additional $800 million military aid package the US announced last week, the Department of Defense said it will be providing Ukraine with drone boats – better known as uncrewed surface vessels (USV) – for use against attacking Russian Navy craft in the Black Sea. The US Navy has tended to discuss its USVs as primarily defensive assets designed to intercept, dissuade, and rebuff intruders. But they are also capable of being equipped and deployed for the kind of offensive missions Ukraine may need to stop Russia from continuing brutal offshore rocket attacks on inland cities, or landing ground reinforcements and supplies.

I’m not Polish in origin.
And those murders happened 77 years ago.
Right now Russian troops are committing atrocities on civilians. Why do you support Putin’s war of aggression?
You can check my posts here, I despise Obama.
Russia has a very small economy, based on digging stuff put of the ground and selling it.
Russia could have been great, but Putin robbed it, shot it in the knees and keeps Russia poor so Putin can remain in control
In case you hadn’t noticed, Trump says Joey isn’t doing enough to support Ukraine / stop Putin.
Just as a matter of practical analysis, aside from whether we should do it, Biden HAS failed and continues to fail miserably to take steps to really dent Russia and help Ukraine. It is clear his fear of Russia far exceeds any desire to help Ukraine. Biden, with the help of the MSM*, appears to wish to merely LOOK like he’s being tough on Russia.
*Case in point. Very early on, Biden was questioned about whether the then sanctions would be or were being effective. He defiantly answered to (paraphrasal) “ask that again in a month.”
It’s been two months. (Crickets) Fortunately, most Americans know the answer anyway.
Why do you support Ukrainian child traffickers and dopesters like Zel the Cocaine Puppet?
1 USD = 77.3631 RUB
It was over 80 just before the Special Operation commenced.
Whoops, Joe cr@pped his mouth.
Stalin and his NKVD scum denied it and the Western allies went along with the charade.
Su-ure! And while they're at it, they could also blockade West Berlin!
Regards,
They won't stop there! One Russian general has already publicly stated that they will have to continue on to Transnistria.
I bet that there are still a couple of nazis hiding under their beds there, too!
You can never be too careful, you know! A person can be a nazi without even knowing it themselves! Thankfully, Putin has an infallible nazi-detector!
Regards,
Apparently, it can be done! And no, the Russians seem incapable of stopping it!
Regards,
You just repeat brainless Russuan propaganda. “The 50 feet tall Russians are blowing it all up, blah, blah, blah.” “One exception does not make the general rule” seems to not be understood by you.
After Stalin died and the NKVD morphed into the KGB, you still denied it.
After the KGB morphed into the FSB and the USSR to Russia, you still denied Katyn
Perhaps you believe that Russia liberated Czechoslovakia and Poland and Romania in 1945?
Deflection again.
Why do you support Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine?
Yup I’m assuming everyone’s OK with Russia setting up defensive biological research labs in Cuba
The Russians will never hold that arc, unless the West stops supplying weapons.
BTW, nice vid:

One of the posters asked if the Stinger accelerates a lot at the end? It kinda looks that way to me too. ??
Looks like “the boys with new toys” are checking this toy out in a real war situation. Be assured there is no classified tech involved.
Actually we can't, and your reply is typical of Neocon bravado that lacks critical thinking.
Russia & Cuba are maxed out as far as US sanctions,
—
Russia is still negotiating with Iran on our behalf to send Russian oil to market (aka the nuclear agreement - in which the US plays no active role).
Of the hundreds of Russian oligarchs only 20 have been sanctioned.
Keep in mind JoeB and others still have paychecks to collect from the Russians. As long as those are in place, sanctions are only half-hearted
Ah... No, one in the EU wants to have anything to do with Biden.
They are literally laughing and making public jokes about the Biden US.
Taking a page from the CDC kooks, this will mean the sanctions are working
