First Naval Drone Duel Results in Ukrainian Success
3 days ago
- For the first time in history, a Ukrainian naval drone (Sargan-3000) destroyed a Russian naval drone (Orcan) in combat on the Black Sea.
- The Russian Orcan USV is a small, fast, agile drone used for explosive attacks, often controlled by aerial drones like Geran (Shahed) for oversight.
- The Ukrainian Sargan-3000 USV, equipped with a Kongsberg Protector RWS and 12.7mm machine gun, sank the Russian drone based on HUR intelligence.
- Both sides are likely to evolve their tactics following this historic engagement, though the loss of a single USV is not strategically significant.
