Ukraine’s Navy killed Russian Shahed: one drone boat launched another drone, which shot down third, all unmanned, all at sea
During the mission, Ukraine pairs a drone boat and a drone interceptor.
Ukraine's Navy announced the successful destruction of a Russian Shahed attack drone using a Sting interceptor launched from their unmanned surface vessel, the Sargan 3000. The drones involved in this encounter were all unmanned and took place off the coast of Ukraine. Ukraine's Navy emphasized the importance of meeting these drones out at sea before they reach land, as Russian Shaheds pose a significant threat to the country's ports, coastline, and approaching ships.
The Sargan 3000 has proven to be an effective sea drone in adapting to new aerial threats and protecting Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure. Known for its quick deployment, short training course, and top speed of 280 km/h, the Sting interceptor has demonstrated an impressive 80-90% hit rate in combat situations, with some units achieving a near-perfect 100% kill rate.
Over its first seven months of use, the Sting has destroyed more than 3,000 drones, making it Ukraine's most productive Shahed interceptor. The Sargan 3000's combat radius of up to 1,600 kilometers allows it to operate far from shore, providing an extended range for clearing the skies of aerial threats.
