Unidentified auto-targeting kamikaze drone with new interface appears in Black Sea USV hunts

Published · updated

Russian footage from Black Sea USV intercept operations now includes an unidentified kamikaze drone type with a new operator interface, appearing alongside Lancets and aviation assets. A milblogger commentary states that a drone with automatic target acquisition can engage any USV ’like a training target when properly employed,’ implying an autonomous or semi-autonomous lock-on capability against surface contacts. The appearance of this platform alongside established Lancet inventory suggests Russia is fielding at least one additional auto-targeting loitering munition variant dedicated to maritime USV suppression.
