Z-bloggers, paying attention to the radio-controlled unmanned boats ("Becks") created in Vietnam, complain why in Russia does not go this way, at least by buying naval drones in China in order to use them to fight the enemy and protect the ships of the Russian Navy.
A group of servicemen of the 8th Regiment of the 395th Division of the 3rd Military District The Vietnamese Armed Forces have proactively created a training and demonstration model based on a commercial radio-controlled mini-back combined with the warhead of a B41-type grenade (the Vietnamese version of the RPG-7), the authors of the telegram channel "Two Majors" write.
The Vietnamese marine drone was created from parts that are publicly available on the commercial market. It is controlled from the shore by a remote control.
Now Vietnamese generals visit the military unit and declare the need to produce thousands of such drones that can be used against expensive ships.
"Such drones, of course, will not be able to sink a warship, but as a means of countering naval surface drones, they could completely complement the meager arsenal of sailors. Unlike UAVs, marine interceptor drones have more attempts to hit large targets. And by adding neural network models trained on Ukrainian drones to the same place, such mini-drones could become effective high-precision weapons against backups," the Two Majors note.
They add that there are hundreds of offers of ready-made commercial marine drones on Chinese websites (costing from 6 thousand dollars).
"It would be possible to at least try to adapt them against Ukrainian backers, which would push this threat at least a few kilometers away from ships and coastal settlements.In addition, warships protected from backups can become air defense platforms, knocking down enemy UAVs at a considerable distance from land," Z—bloggers comment.
"It is possible, but why, yes?" the military correspondents ask themselves.
