Watch first naval battle in history fought entirely by drones: Ukrainian uncrewed boat spots, fires on, and sinks Russian one in Black Sea
A gun-armed Sargan-3000 spotted and sank a Russian naval drone in the Black Sea.
For the first time in naval history, two unmanned boats engaged in combat, with the Ukrainian vessel ultimately sinking its Russian counterpart in the Black Sea. Ukrainian Defense Intelligence detected a Russian drone and a Sargan-3000 naval drone, armed with a remote-controlled machine-gun turret, engaged and destroyed the enemy vessel.
The Ukrainian Navy announced this as the first-ever naval battle between unmanned boats on Telegram. This marks a significant shift in naval warfare as unmanned boats take the lead, having already sunk warships and pushed much of Russia's Black Sea Fleet back to port.
