The updated models can cover distances of over 1500 kilometres and carry up to 2000 kilograms of cargo. The drones have been fitted with reinforced engines and a modern navigation system.
In addition, the new Sea Babies are equipped with a gyro-stabilised machine gun with an automatic target acquisition and recognition system. Another model can carry heavy weapons, including a 10-round multiple launch rocket system «Grad».
Brigadier General of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Lukashevych emphasised that the Security Service of Ukraine is the ideologist of a new type of naval warfare.
«We are constantly looking for effective means to maintain Ukraine's advantage in the Black Sea for as long as possible. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's task is to neutralise the powerful Russian Black Sea Fleet. We are actively working on this», he stressed.
