Kinburn Split Goes Unmanned: Ukraine’s First All-Autonomous Amphibious Raid
Ukraine’s 123rd Territorial Defence Brigade reportedly conducted the first fully unmanned amphibious raid against Russian-held Kinburn Split, using an Unmanned Surface Vehicle to deliver a Roboneers Rys UGV armed with a PKT machine gun; footage shows the UGV firing on a waterfront target, but results were not disclosed. If confirmed, the operation signals a potential shift toward automated cross-domain amphibious tactics, though its effectiveness and feasibility for future large-scale assaults remain unclear.
