Marine Drones

Looks like this bad boy, along with five others may have recently taken out a Russian ship. The motors in these things are typically 3 cylinder four stroke turbo PWC engines. Nice.

It means pretty much any nation now has the possibility to perform a sea denial operation.

Looks like fun practice for a CWIS.

Ya the video footage of them closing in on a Russian missile boat was interesting. They're really difficult to hit.

Here's some motor oil for them.

I wonder what engine it has?

The Ukrainians, who have no capital ships, have the Russian navy bottled up in the east end of the Black Sea. They've already taken out several large Russian vessels with sea drones and either air drones or "cruise"missiles.

It sucks to be a Russian sailor or tank crew these days.

Maybe this or similar. Here is a 325 HP Bombardier 3 cylinder Turbo.

Apparently the sunken ship was the fourth out of the dozen or so amphibious landing ships that the Ukrainians have managed to take out. Reports say that none of the 81 crew members survived. Every ship lost is significant as the Russian Black Sea fleet only has a fixed number of ships in the region as Turkey does not permit the transit of military vessels in or out of the Black Sea during a conflict.

I think it's safe to say that being a combatant on either side is really, really bad.

Sorry for the diversion....What is really sad in the Ukraine conflict is how the attention of the media has diverted to the Israel / Palestine mess, and it must make Putin so happy.

Well once they figure it out, but you would think most would be taking notes.

28 warships.
Not only by drones, but this is 1/3 of their Navy

It's the Brits that are doing this, the Ukrainians are there for plausible deniability.
