Military milestone: Ukrainian naval drone sinks Russian kamikaze drone boat
摘要
乌克兰国防情报部门9月12日在黑海发现一艘俄罗斯无人水面艇，并引导乌克兰海军无人艇进行拦截。乌方无人艇使用遥控机枪塔摧毁了这艘俄方爆炸型无人艇。这是无人艇之间的首次交战。此前，此类无人水面艇已在俄乌冲突中广泛投入实战，与攻击型无人机和地面机器人一同使用。
In the world’s first clash of the drone boats, a Ukrainian naval drone destroyed a Russian explosive drone boat using a remote-controlled machine gun turret. This comes as the war in Ukraine has already seen widespread deployment of such uncrewed surface vessels in combat, along with swarms of flying attack drones and ground robots.
The lopsided battle took place on September 12 when members of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence detected the Russian uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in the Black Sea and directed a Ukrainian Navy drone boat to intercept. The Russian vessel was “positively identified” as an Orcan surface drone with a “jet ski type steerable water jet” designed to ram targets and explode, according to naval analyst HI Sutton in Naval News.
Such Orcan drones have already been used to attack Ukrainian ports and ships. These often work in coordination with flying drones such as Russian Geran drones that provide aerial reconnaissance and can boost communication between drone operators and drone boats, Sutton explained.
