It will be able to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h, carry more than a ton of cargo and maneuver in shallow water

A new generation unmanned hydrofoil boat has been developed in Russia. Its key feature is the combination of two driving modes.

Recently, several events have converged at once related to the tests of both the Ukrainian Armed Forces and ground combat robots in the West. Ukrainian sources even claim that for the first time they were able to implement the landing of a robotic landing force using, again, a crewless boat. What is it about and what does it mean?
