President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukraine will soon develop drones capable of operating in ocean conditions, adding that experts are also working on underwater systems.

Quote: "We started with simple kamikaze sea drones. Then we built drones with turrets that can shoot down helicopters. Now we have drones that can shoot down Russian fighter jets from the sea.
We have developed boats that carry other drones. We also have boats that strike targets on land from the sea. And we are developing more stable drones that can operate longer and more effectively at sea. Soon – and not in the distant future – we will have systems that can operate even in ocean conditions. We are also actively working on underwater systems."
Details: Zelenskyy added that Ukraine is finding effective security solutions using drones that could be applied to challenges in areas such as the Strait of Hormuz.
