Covertshores

The Myanmar Navy has acquired two patrol submarines in recent years, covertshores.

It was sailing from Vietnam to Israel at the time. A video has emerged of the moments the missile struck. It is possible to say from this that it was an anti-ship ballistic missile ASBM fired from the direction of Yemen Despite the hype much of their equipment and tactics should be taken seriously. Especially in hybrid warfare scenarios which are currently playing out in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. A new emerging threat is attack drones which can hit moving ships

While the idea of a submersible ship had been around since the Renaissance, the advances in technology required were not seen until the end of the Victorian age. It has been a weapon with conflicting ideas as to its mission and role. The 20 th Century saw the submarine brought from a curiosity into a highly effective weapon of war, espionage, and deterrence. The two primary problems of early submarine development were weapons and propulsion. Early attempts at submarine weapons included limpet mines and spar torpedoes that proved just as dangerous to the attacker as the target; Robert Whitehead developed the first self-propelled torpedo in Parish This weapon, while adopted for use on both surface ships and from shore, proved particularly well suited for use from a subsurface craft as it made its attack underwater, away from the launching platform, and was fully self-contained. In the field of propulsion many different systems were attempted. Initially, trials using compressed air and all-battery drives were conducted but this linked submarines to a shore base or a tender ship at sea. The Austrians designed a submarine that could operate its gasoline engine while submerged by it feeding air with a pair of breathing tubes Freivogel 5 ; but it quickly became apparent to the early developers that two propulsion systems would be required: one for sailing on the surface and one for submerged operations.

Covert Shores is the first complete and documented insight into the little-known world of the mini-subs, Swimmer Delivery Vehicles SDVs and other underwater vehicles used by the U. Operating under a blanket of secrecy, these craft have remained hidden and unrecorded in a way that no other class of military vehicles has. Covert Shores reveals the craft, units, missions and tactics of this unseen world. Spanning from to the present day, and covering activities in many countries including US, Great Britain, Italy, Israel, Russia, France, Germany, Yugoslavia and Sweden, this book is filled with tales of the ingenuity, resourcefulness, experimentation and cunning of those involved in the design and operations of these expert craft.

This should provide a useful overview Despite the hype much of their equipment and tactics should be taken seriously. A "narco-submarine", was interdicted by Colombian Forces on February 14 All are in use in the war Ukraine too is increasingly using this category of drone. It is possible to say from this that it was an anti-ship ballistic missile ASBM fired from the direction of Yemen These weaponized underwater vehicles combine the range and autonomy of AUVs with a warhead similar to a torpedo. USVs uncrewed surface vessels have been under development for navies for some years, but the war in the Black Sea has redefined them. Ukraine in particular has exploited emerging communications technologies to create effective USVs The Mamai type is combat proven. A video has emerged of the moments the missile struck.

In Ukrainian service it is likely being used as a one-way attack drone OWA-UAV to strike high value targets deep behind the front line All are in use in the war It is an area where the major powers, and the West in general, is lagging This time a new missile boat stole the show These weapons could serve several purposes It seems the antithesis of modern submarine operations. It was sailing from Vietnam to Israel at the time. Like so much in this field, most of it is hidden below the surface The design is strongly reminiscent of many so-called "narco submarines". Both attacks, far away from Ukrainian controlled territory, inflicted significant damage What is more, North Korea has begun re building them into more more dangerous submarines A crashed example of the jet powered drone was shared on Russian social media. A video has emerged of the moments the missile struck.
