CNN —Ukraine’s military on Tuesday claimed another successful attack on a Russian warship, marking the latest in a string of naval defeats for Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet that Kyiv says has reduced its numbers by more than a third since the start of the war. “As a result of the strike by Magura V5 maritime drones, the Russian ship Project 22160 ‘Sergei Kotov’ sustained damage to the stern, starboard and port sides,” sparking a fire aboard the vessel, a statement said. In mid-February, the Russian landing ship Caesar Kunikov was attacked with the same drones used against the Sergei Kotov. The drones punctured “critical holes” on the Russian ship’s left side before sinking it, Ukrainian military intelligence agency said on Telegram. The Sergei Kotov was one of Russia newest ships in the Black Sea Fleet.

☆ Going after Russian warships feels like 'hunting prey,' says a Ukrainian general overseeing exploding naval drone operations

Ukraine has relied heavily on its arsenal of naval drones to cause headaches for Russia's Black Sea Fleet. AdvertisementFor at least one Ukrainian general, going after Russian warships with exploding drone boats is more than just hitting the enemy. To compensate for this deficiency, the country sought to develop what it calls "the world's first fleet of naval drones." These deadly systems were first introduced in 2022 as Kyiv looked to weaken Moscow's grip on the Black Sea. "We analyzed how best to get to the Russian fleet; what means and methods would be appropriate.

☆ Ukraine is thinking more like Silicon Valley to defend itself against Russia's electronic warfare

As a countermeasure, Ukraine has taken several steps to develop new warfare tech. In electronic warfare, jamming technology can be used to disable drones, suppress radar signals, and render GPS-guided missiles useless. AdvertisementBoth countries are engaged in electronic warfare, but Ukraine's capabilities are harder to assess, The Associated Press reported last year. The US has previously expressed concerns that Russia has been deploying jamming technology to reduce the accuracy of American-made smart bombs. The impacts of Russia's electronic warfare have made quickly seeking and developing technological countermeasures a priority for the Ukrainian government.

Ukraine hosted a drone-building competition to find new tech to use against Russia, CNN reported. The competition took place outside Kyiv and featured unmanned-drone makers from across the globe. "Every few weeks, we conduct various studies, see what is happening in this direction, look for new drone developers, study the results," Fedorov told CNN. Drones have been a major part of the war on both sides since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Fedorov told CNN that first-person-view drones have been a "game-changer" for Ukraine and that the country is also developing some longer-range drones.
