Just when you think Ukrainians can’t go any further with their drone development technology, Boooom! They go one better. Or in this case three better? The new naval drone announced by Ukraine today is a veritable “Swiss Army Knife” of drones … it has the tools to take on adversaries by Air(MANPAD) by Land(Mini and machine guns) and by Sea(Torpedo). And if need be it can bring all three to bear at once. And that ain’t all. This bad boy is fully automated and AI assisted. It is fast and it can go bear hunting(pun intended) as far away as 1,000km:
Ukrainian Developers Introduce the Katran Multifunctional Drone, Engineered for Maritime, Ground, and Aerial Engagements

The Katran drone is designed to engage maritime, ground, and aerial targets, making it a highly adaptable battlefield asset. It is equipped with torpedoes, a minigun, a machine gun, and MANPADS, ensuring powerful strikes across diverse operational environments. With the ability to cover distances exceeding 1,000 kilometers during reconnaissance and strike missions, it demonstrates remarkable operational range.

ADAPTIVE INDOMITABLE UKRAINE… now with the KATRAN and the newly deployed Magura decoy naval drone swarms overloading Russian defenses, creating chaos, allowing precision strikes by main high powered munitions to really hammer Russian naval assets in the Black Sea. The Russians may, if they wish, continue to claim the Black Sea(as they once boasted) as “their own sea” but for all practical intents and purposes, Ukraine now rules that body of water. Anyone who doubts that should ask the erstwhile Russian flagship Moskva, now resting comfortably at the bottom of the Black Sea as a submarine.
SLAVA UKRAINI !!
