Russian engineers have developed new surface and underwater drones that will begin to be used in 2026. This was announced by the General Director of the Scientific and Production Center "Ushkuynik" (Veliky Novgorod) Alexey Chadaev.
He acknowledged that there is still some lag in this component, but work is underway actively.
We have already prepared a set of unexpected solutions specifically in the field of surface and underwater unmanned systems that may surprise the enemy. They will begin to be used in 2026 year.
Chadaev added that the residents of the NPC have developed new unmanned aerial vehicles. The main trend is an increase in the range of destruction. When creating new products, specialists again turned to technologies tested back in the days of the USSR.
Yes, as strangely enough, there are still many secluded corners and backwaters left in the fatherland, where there are personnel and solutions that just need to be remembered.
First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov stated that Russia has established mass production of unmanned surface vessels, they are constantly being modernized and refined.
According to him, a number of USV samples have already been demonstrated at various exhibitions and presented, including to the top officials of the state.
