| Putin's 'invisible' nightmare: Ukraine unveils new 20ft underwater kamikaze stealth drone capable of carrying 1,000lbs of explosives that will be aimed at Russia's Black Sea fleet |
| 2023-09-27 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Footage shows Ukraine's new underwater kamikaze drone 'Marichka' being checked ahead of deployment against Vladimir Putin's navy. The newly-designed torpedo - which can carry around 1,000 pounds of explosives - is set to be unleashed on Russian warships and submarines as Ukraine continues its efforts to repel Vladimir Putin's navy in the Black Sea. It is also expected to be aimed at the £3 billion Crimean Bridge - a vital Russian supply route into Ukraine which Kyiv's forces have already hit twice during the war - and which the Russians have managed to only partially repair. The footage shows the 20-foot long, £355,000 sea weapon being checked in the water at a secret location ahead of its deployment. It is a development by Ammo.Ukraine volunteers which boasts an invulnerability to Russian radio-electronic warfare systems, making it largely 'invisible to the enemy'.

| #8 Claims like this make me think of vaporware. I will need to see, to believe it. "Makers say the Marichka drone 'cannot be detected by radars, scanners and echo sounders' and has a range of some 620 miles." |
