In the past few hours, the port of Sevastopol, which is the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, came under heavy attack from Ukraine. Similar to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during the Second World War, Ukraine attacked the Sevastopol Port area with dozens of drones, namely a combination of combatant drones (UCAV) and surface sea drones (naval drones).
Although the Russian government claimed to have destroyed several of these drones, the Black Sea Fleet still suffered considerable losses, unofficial sources from social media said the Admiral Makarov frigate was also damaged by naval drone attacks.
Several short videos circulated on Twitter showing the stages of a naval drone strike, including a Russian ship defense attempt to neutralize the drone with cannon and cannon fire.
What is interesting about the drone attack incident on Sevastopol is the use of the type of naval drones used by Ukraine. Quoted from news.usni.org, the type of naval drone used by Ukraine is called an Explosive Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). This Naval drone is not equipped with any identification, which was previously discovered by the Russian military in Crimea.
Photographs published on social media reveal key components of the naval drone which provide some clues. Analysis of photos on the drone revealed that the drone's propeller was powered by an creative water jet.
The waterjet drone model is specifically identified as being similar to the GTX or Fish Pro designs from Sea-Doo. Sea-Doo is a Canadian private boat manufacturer. The company sells its products worldwide, mostly for the civilian market. This means that Sea-Doo will be relatively easy to obtain.
External instructions do not provide solid guidance on the runway. But some Sea-Doo models feature a high-performance three-cylinder petrol engine from Rotax that can propel the boat up to 112 km/h. Some boats of this type can be powered from diesel or electric engines, but gasoline seems best suited to the Sea-Doo water jet.
Another key feature of the Ukrainian USV is the possibility of a detonation method for the drone. In the bow section, two sections have been temporarily identified as impact fuses. These are similar to the fuses on aerial bombs, such as the Soviet-era FAB-500 family of bombs, which are still widely used today.
The fuse will likely be wired to the detonator and warhead. The size and location of the warheads are unclear, but they are likely to be loaded in the forward section of the ship.
While private boats are generally made of fiberglass, or a similar material, Ukrainian kamikaze marine drones are generally made of aluminum. So far, a Pentagon spokesman would not confirm whether the naval drone was the origin of the US donation.
The aftermath of a massive drone attack on Sevastpol is believed to make the Kremlin angry, and it is not impossible that it will eventually close the supply lines for grain and food to and from Ukraine.
