Background:
- Ukraine began developing naval surface drones after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They proved to be effective in combat, for example, in the summer of 2023, when they attacked the Crimean Bridge. Also, the Olenegorsky Gornyak, a Ropucha-class landing ship of the Russian Navy, and the SIG, a large Russian oil tanker, were attacked using the naval surface drones.
- The French Navy tested a new kamikaze marine drone as part of the POLARIS initiative, which aims to prepare for high-intensity combat operations.
