According to the expert, Ukraine opens new opportunities for protection against Russian aviation. A pack of sea drones can cover a pair of drones with R-73 missiles against aviation. Ukrainian sea drones are dominated by fighting in the Black Sea. However, they were still vulnerable to Russian aviation. The latest developments show that engineers have come up with to counter hostile planes and helicopters. About it reports Naval News.

The war in Ukraine has removed any doubt that unmanned technologies would transform the war. In the sea, drones became the world leaders in the level of combat use. They destroy the combat potential of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. Now Ukraine has launched a completely new category of marine drones with air defense missiles. Russian pilots now have to think twice whether to approach marine drones that can potentially impress them.

In fact, it is the first sea drone with such functions. There were development in the world, but only Kiev tests technology in hostilities. The new surface sea drone has a wider body that allows you to place two air-air-air missiles at once. This ammunition is Soviet and has a small radius of action. P-73 carriers are Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters. The rocket was a very maneuverable and good homing head with the possibility of deviation from a straight point up to 40 degrees.

At the time of ammunition development, the researcher writes. In the case of P-73 placement on the ground platform, the key will be. It will be about twice less and will be up to 15 km. The main restriction will be the range of detecting electrical devices of drones. For Ukraine, this means that one or two sea drones with P-73 will protect the flock of ordinary camicades from Russian helicopters and fighters.
