Much attention has been justifiably directed at the remarkable performance of both military and consumer UAVs in assisting Ukraine’s efforts to rebuff invading Russian forces. But soon, news may also be generated by drone boats similarly turning the tides for Ukraine defenses in coastal waters of the Black Sea.
As part of its additional $800 million military aid package the US announced last week, the Department of Defense said it will be providing Ukraine with drone boats – better known as uncrewed surface vessels (USV) – for use against attacking Russian Navy craft in the Black Sea. The US Navy has tended to discuss its USVs as primarily defensive assets designed to intercept, dissuade, and rebuff intruders. But they are also capable of being equipped and deployed for the kind of offensive missions Ukraine may need to stop Russia from continuing brutal offshore rocket attacks on inland cities, or landing ground reinforcements and supplies.

Wanna bet Russia loads up Cuba again?
Very nice. The armaments from the West just keep pouring in. Now the bleedout by Russia is going to really accelerate.
Then they will have to advance on and take the last part of the Uke coast in Odessa. That is a nazi stronghold anyway, so they might as well.
Waste of money
After this war, Russia won't be able to afford it.
Whoops. They just did...
China has their back
Not for the money launderers and war profiteers.
And unmanned is cool. They can patrol by air and blow them up on sight, with no worry about killing NATO guys.

True , I should have said: waste of my tax dollars
What’s to lose? Russia & Cuba are maxed out as far as US sanctions, and why not sprinkle around a few dozen of their more than 7000 nukes? Dopey Biden. Dopey Biden Republicans.
Vikings and Beekeepers
The Russians got nothing to lose, now. They can interdict the West's energy supplies AT WILL - with ridiculous ease.
"Alexei - did you accidentally leave the anchor down AGAIN while we passed over the Algerian natgas pipeline? Our bad, I guess..."
“Russians are going to come crawling back to Daddy Europe”
Europe doesnt want the RuZZians back.
Good riddance.
It’s all laughs and giggles till the Euro-peeing Onion’s economy collapses under the weight of no-energy prices...
So Russia is just going to sit idly by and watch weapons pour into Ukraine to be used against them?
How do you “sneak in” 155 mm Howitzer artillery?
Europe loves Biden and they want Russia to do the same. As do others.
