Ukrainian naval drone fires adapted rocket launchers at Russian target

Ukraine has transformed part of its fleet of naval drones into unmanned rocket launchers to terrorise coastal targets.

Images that emerged online appeared to show the SBU security service’s Sea Baby drone equipped with a Grad rocket launcher mounted to its hull.

“Our Sea Baby is not just a drone, but a multifunctional platform that is constantly being improved,” an SBU source told Ukrainian news wire Interfax.

“And today we can confirm that they are equipped with a multiple rocket launcher system, and this technological solution is already showing powerful results.”

The agency confirmed the new systems had entered into service in a combat mission off the coast of the Kinburn Spit, a small strip of Russian-held land where the Dnipro River meets the Black Sea.
