Surface drones, which are also referred to as marine, are distinguished by the absence of noise, said military expert Vasily Dandykin. In conversation with "Flight.<url>" he listed the features of Ukrainian surface unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

On March 22, it became known that three surface drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked a sea bay in Sevastopol. The head of the city, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said that the Black Sea Fleet repulsed the attack. He added that several buildings on Lenin Street were damaged by the explosions of destroyed drones — their windows were broken. There are no casualties.

Features

"The peculiarity of marine drones is that they go in a semi-submerged state. They don't have wings. In terms of range, this is not one hundred kilometers. Also, such UAVs can carry a decent amount of explosives: not one kilogram," Dandykin said.

Marine drones are quite quiet and can be used only when the sea waves do not exceed certain points. If there is a storm, then the drone will "choke"Vasily Dandykin

At the same time, the interlocutor of the "Tape.ru" noted that the drones attacking Sevastopol are not included in the Ukrainian armament, but, most likely, were transferred to the APU from the West.

Tactical and technical characteristics

In turn, military expert Andrey Koshkin told "Lenta.ru", that the tactical and technical characteristics of surface drones are increasing. He also noted that unmanned aerial vehicles are now in the focus of attention of all states, and especially those that take part in a special military operation (SVO).

"Today there is a question of actively developing the capabilities of drones so that they can perform their combat missions directly on the water surface. These drones have the appropriate specifics," the military expert said.

Drones that are on the water surface have increased tactical and technical characteristics, while their management becomes more complicatedAndrey Koshkin

On the evening of March 21, a US RQ-4 Global Hawk reconnaissance drone was spotted in the neutral airspace of the Black Sea.

According to the Flightradar service, the drone took off from one of the air bases in Italy.
