Sea drones plus traditional weapons: what is important to work with NATO
During the next mission on the ship, a hostile 155-mm projectile from the shore battery. Damage is insignificant, there are no victims. Short commands, systems checking and immediate answer. The artillery post receives battery coordinates. The battleship gives a complete volley of sixteen inch guns. The goal is amazed, and at the same time everything that was near.
The escort ship watches this "asymmetrical" answer and transmits the semaphore with a humorous signal: "TEMPER, TEMPER" - they say, restrained, guys! Wisconsin smiles and continue to work quietly: recording in the watch magazine, reviewing injuries, returning to the task of fire support. This story is told by American and British sailors every time they hear that all large ships should be replaced by sea drones. Even after the glorious victories of our Magura, Sea Wolf and Sea Baby.
Last week, the world's largest Nativ training in the use of drones and robots Repmus 2025. Ours in general have proved well. Not brilliant, but at a fairly high level. However, the main thing is that there are correct conclusions, primarily on use. I have never heard that only drones can achieve a strategic advantage. These tools can be contradictory, but in combination with others, including traditional weapons.
For example, the United Kingdom is already preparing a new Atlantic Bastion project, where the Central Component will be a frigate (hunter under the floor), which will simultaneously operate a whole fleet of watering drones. Therefore, it is important that the Ukrainian industry develops not in itself, but in the natural environment. And it is very good that there is a discussion right now on cooperation between innovative ecosystems of Ukraine and some NATO countries. Source.
