Ukraine’s Naval Drones Shift From Sea Battles to Land Assaults
Ukraine's naval drones, famed for hitting Russian warships, are now being deployed on land, expanding Kyiv's strategic unconventional warfare arsenal.
POLICY WIRE — Kyiv, Ukraine — Ukraine’s unmanned maritime craft have earned a reputation by striking Russian naval vessels, and the same systems are now being fielded in ground operations.
The drones, originally engineered for sea‑borne assaults, are undergoing modifications that enable them to operate on land, extending Kyiv’s asymmetric tactics beyond the water.
By repurposing these platforms for terrestrial targets, Ukrainian forces aim to broaden their strike options and pose new challenges to Russian defenses.
