The Black Sea is seeing increasingly frequent use of unmanned surface vessels (USVs), operating as carrier platforms for multi-purpose tactical missiles and kamikaze drones, equipped with command and telemetry control channels relayed via Starlink terminals located on the USVs. Military analyst Evgeny Damantsev has named the most effective ways to combat them.
According to him, to counter these USVs, it is necessary to urgently start large-scale production of domestic high-speed USV interceptors.
They need to be equipped with optoelectronic and radar detection modules, as well as remotely controlled combat modules with Solist, Kornet-D anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and 9M120-1 Ataka-T ATGMs, as well as niches for strike FPV drones.
The analyst noted that Lancet-3 kamikaze drones and Inokhodets-RU UAVs with Kh-UAV missiles should also work on USVs.
Currently, the use of such interception tools on a permanent and tactically refined basis is not observed, Damantsev summarized.
Blogger and retired pilot Fighterbomber explained that combat aircraft can be used to destroy USVs, but the crew takes too much risk due to the danger of being hit by return fire from the kamikaze boats.
That is, the pilot must see the USV (target) with his eyes in the attack. This is due to the lack of guided or self-guided aviation weapons on the planet that can reliably hit a small, high-speed and maneuvering target.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a Russian Aerospace Forces fighter intercepted a US B-1B Lancer strategic bomber.
