Ukrainian Commander Warns NATO Naval Drones Lag in Combat Readiness
A Ukrainian GUR commander says NATO is rushing to field naval drones after Kyiv's Black Sea successes, but European designs lack combat-tested experience—especially in electronics, system behavior, and autonomy. Ukraine’s drones have evolved into armed platforms capable of operating in rough seas and autonomously avoiding obstacles or selecting targets, built on combat-driven iteration. He emphasizes that wartime experience informs rapid updates in real time, a pace Western shipyards at peace may not match.
