"We didn't have much power": journalists were shown marine drones that attacked Crimea (video)

The development of weapons began at the beginning of a full -scale war, as it was necessary to confront the maritime state. The occupiers will need from 5 to 10 years to learn how to deal with new drones. CNN journalists managed to visit a secret Ukrainian military base, where they are tested over marine drones that can change the course of war. This is stated in the story of journalists of July 30. For obvious reasons, the exact location of the base is not reported, but it is located on the lake.

Journalists point out that the sea drone is gray and has a smooth body. Its length is more than five meters, and thanks to a narrow form, it resembles a slightly canoe. "These naval drones, who have never shown journalists before, are increasingly being able to attack Russians in the Black Sea and on the Crimean Peninsula and monitor them," the story reads. The pilot with the call sign "Shark" opened some details of the weapon and showed a multi -screen remote control of drone.

It has levers, joystics, a large monitor and buttons with switch. To prevent them from being pressed by accident, they are accompanied by stickers with the inscription "explosion". One of the developers of the sea drone noted that working on weapons began almost from the first days of the war, and now it is already capable of bear fruit. "We didn't have much effort to confront the maritime state - Russia. And we needed to develop something of our own," the statement said.

Updated versions weigh up to 1000 kilograms and have an explosive load of up to 300 kilograms. Some sources, according to journalists, confirm the use of sea drones during an attack on the Crimean bridge in July and at Sevastopol's port in October last year. It is extremely difficult for the Russians to detect drone and, moreover, to eliminate it, because the unit rate is higher than that of any vessel vessel. "These drones are fully Ukrainian production.

They are designed, manufactured and tested here. This is our own production of buildings, electronics and software. More than 50% of equipment production is here (in Ukraine)," the developer continued. Russians may need from 5 to 10 years to find a way to resist it effectively. We will remind, on July 29 it was also reported that CNN for the first time showed marine surface drones of Magura V5.
