Added high altitude balloon bomber to my #Ukraine long range drone guide. Balloons are very hard (and expensive) to shoot down. Expect ever more sophisticated types.

BREAKING
Thread 🧵

#Ukrainian strike on #Russian Navy base at Sevastopol in Crimea appears to have damaged, possibly seriously (TBC), the submarine support ship Kommuna (ref hisutton.com/Russian-Navy-K…)

Good insight, agreed

Official comment

Of great interest.

Novorossiysk naval base, Russian Black Sea coast

I know I talk a lot about how naval drones (USVs, AUVs) are ‘reshaping’ naval warfare. I really do seem to overuse the term (?)

But that’s not because it’s a buzzword or click bait, it’s because I think that is what we are seeing in #Ukraine

#OSINT + defense analysis

Really significant step in the development of naval drones (USVs). #Ukraine first to put air-defense missiles on them, attacking #Russian helicopters in Black Sea. The idea is viable and it will likely reshape naval warfare

May I introduce you to MS Paint?

Added the MRLS version of #Ukrainians Sea Baby maritime drone (USV) to my guide

I don't think MLRS are necessarily best thing but very thought provoking for navies

Sea Baby family, SBU, Ukraine

#Russian intelligence ship Ivan Khurs attacked by 3 #Ukrainian GUR Magura maritime drones (USVs), in vicinity 41.883333°, 30.603611°. One almost makes contact but attack unsuccessful. Ship returns to Sevastopol.

Smugglers converted a fiberglass kayak to be an uncrewed transport across the Adriatic to Italy.

Interesting concept for military transports?
