The latest unmanned "Skorlupa" boats on a fiber optic control channel were sent to units of the Russian Armed Forces that are participating in combat operations. This was announced by Evgeny Mandelshtam, Deputy General Director of the SPC "Ushkuynik".
According to him, the BEC "Skorlupa" was received by military personnel who had been trained at the SPC naval range.
Now we are collecting requests from commanders who need BECs to perform their combat tasks and they are ready to give their operators for training.
Mandelshtam added that the military personnel themselves are developing tactical scenarios for the use of the naval drone. They are also considering the tandem of "Skorlupa" and the "Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky" drone. In the basic scenario, any drone (surface, air or ground) is the delivery of goods, monitoring and strikes, he summarized.
In early February 2026, the SPC "Ushkuynik" sent "Skorlupa" for testing in the troops. The universal platform is designed for reconnaissance, patrolling the water area and launching "Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky" from the board.
