If it is deemed successful, it could be installed on subsequent boats Ukraine too is increasingly using this category of drone. The suggestion that the deceptive camouflage, black paint on the bow and stern, is for infrared stealth now seems much less likely 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 baseline version is optimized for littoral combat where larger nuclear-powered attack submarines are at their weakest, and larger derivatives are steadily enhancing its blue-water credentials also. In the post-Cold War climate politicians considered a new submarine unnecessary and the project lay dormant until the s when it was reborn as the Viking project. This would have been a jointly developed submarine with Norway and Denmark but defense cuts in the partner countries crashed the program. Eventually the all-Swedish A program was born in the mids. Difficulties between ThyssenKrupp then owners of Kockums and the Swedish government delayed the project, leading to Saab acquiring Kockums in Finally in March the Swedish government officially placed an order for two boats. There is interest from export customers, notably the Netherlands. Swedish submarines have a tradition of being relatively small to suit their Baltic primary operating environment, and feature very high levels of automation resulting in very small crews. More subtle design features include the carriage of mm lightweight torpedoes. Unlike other lightweight torpedoes these are wire guided and can be mass-fired.

The transport ship Sparta-IV The way that maritime drones are reshaping naval warfare is becoming clear in the Black Sea. Now footage of Hamas' own take on these vehicles, a form of limited scope torpedo, has emerged. Now a Ukrainian project seeks to introduce highly capable Western underwater drones. USVs uncrewed surface vessels have been under development for navies for some years, but the war in the Black Sea has redefined them. But there is another third boat In late February two Russian government ships did something highly unusual.

The transport ship Sparta-IV Now a Ukrainian project seeks to introduce highly capable Western underwater drones. As the war in Ukraine shows, these facilities are strategically important. This should provide a useful overview At least one British-made Banshee target drone has been reported crashed behind Russian lines. China's latest non-nuclear submarine, the TypeC Yuan Class, features a distinctive angled sail. USVs uncrewed surface vessels have been under development for navies for some years, but the war in the Black Sea has redefined them. New evidence shows that a large dry dock is now under construction in Cambodia. Attacks on merchant ships and warships in the Red Sea and surrounding waters are ongoing.
