SBU

Ukrainian specialists are constantly modernizing Sea Baby marine drones. The new generation of devices received a several times greater charge of explosives and shock weapons. She reported about it Ukrainian Pravda on Monday, January 1.

"The combat unit has been increased several times and increased from 108 to 850 kilograms, the best communication systems are used, each of which costs more than 300 thousand dollars, the body is made of material invisible to radars and many other innovative solutions are used", the article says with reference to the developers of maritime drones.

It is claimed that the drones are now equipped with a flamethrower system that "enables a naval battle in the literal sense." The publication received footage of the first-ever battle between drones and coastal ships.

"The video shows Ukrainian SBU drones firing at Russian boats that jumped out of one of the Crimean military ports to sink the drones. But the drones, instead of running away, turned around and opened fire in return." - the publication writes, without specifying the results of the battle.

Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian military uses three types of naval drones for special operations in the Black Sea. Now it is not only Sea Baby, but also Kozak Mamai and Magura V5. The last type of drone uses GUR.

It will be recalled that in just one year of its existence, the Ukrainian naval drone fleet attacked eight Russian ships.
