Ukraine's sea-based Sting interceptor barge upgraded with dual-spectrum camera and Furuno radar

Published 12 September 2026

A Russian milblogger reports observing a new version of Ukraine’s offshore Sting interceptor drone launcher barge. The latest platform carries a dual-spectrum electro-optical camera and a Furuno marine radar — features the blogger notes indicate deliberate investment in a reusable, multi-sortie system rather than a disposable one. Individual launch containers each hold a single drone; adjacent container lids partially overlap. The barge class is deployed at sea to intercept Russian drone attacks before they close on the coastline.
