First-Ever Kill Of A Drone Boat By Another Drone Boat Claimed By Ukraine
Ukraine’s Navy said a Sargan 3000 uncrewed surface vessel destroyed an unidentified Russian drone boat in the Black Sea, describing it as the first recorded USV-versus-USV kill. Ukrainian military intelligence reportedly detected the target before the Sargan engaged it with a Kongsberg Protector remote weapon station carrying a 12.7 mm machine gun. An 81-second publicly released video shows repeated fire and the apparent target sinking stern-first. Ukraine did not disclose the time or location of the engagement, and the claim has not been independently verified.
