Welcome to the future: David vs Goliath is effective in modern warfare..

When you see an RC boat turning on water, I wonder how a missile or a torpedo could hit such a small thing. The best option would be a proximity detonation hopping the shock wave will do the trick. Yet, it's so small and quick that the heat signature must be almost invisible and radars would see them too late anyway. Seems like you can still win wars with 1/10 of the budget of your adversary but with brains like history showed us

I imagine China may be completely rethinking any sea invasion of Taiwan.

Nice grafix and explanation. SUBSCRIBED!

I like your graphics. They are well explained on how this is achieved in reality. I understand it's only A. Visualization of reality, but it still is well-defined.

Great video, very informative and well designed. Amazing CGI

This thing has same motor as my yahama banshee

I these videos are great, and this is one that gives lots of details. However, I did see one detail that was missed. On the original drone, there are three angled fins that run across the top of the vessel. These fins serve a specific purpose. They are needed because of the high speed of the vessel and the large payload located forward of the center. If rough seas are encountered, they prevent the vessel from being forced under the water and becoming a submarine. If the vessel encounters a large wave, the water pushes against the angled fins. This force causes the bow of the vessel to rise out of the water rapidly. Keep up the great work.

What the Ukranian army are doing to the Black Sea Fleet is amazing. They are genious! The only thing that surprised me is that they are relying on Starlink. I thought that maybe they had a relay drone in the sea serving as communication hub to the rest of the kamikaze drones. Relying on Musk´s is quite risky, but I suppose they had no other option. Again, thank you for sharing

Good stuff ,very clever design Ukraine 👍

Certainly a game changer in closed and coastal water combat. I'm surprised this wasn't developed years earlier. Guess the need wasn't there until now.

Iran watching

It seems you made it in 1 day or you are a secret agent of SBU and knew about the atack in advance. Both senarios are cool af.

This one used Oneweb satellites. Musky disabled Starlink for Ukrainians.

ABSOBLOODLUTELY AMAZINGFANTASTIC VIDEO ! DONT YOU GUYS NEVER GET TIRED OF BEING EXCELLENTS !?!?! Thank you very much for this cool video (as usual), keep up the excellent superexcellent work and may God bless you always !

Drones were used to throw off the radars and the boat was parked floating off shore the drones sneaked up it didn’t have to go full speed so was rather quiet so can sneak up if needed . 7 drones were used and had different jobs to do

Nice graphic video work

Hello, great job! What render engine do you use in blender? Is it EVEE?

I gonna publish this model made of LEGO soon👍🇺🇸

Do a video on how the Iskander and ATACMs work

This little boat made warships obsolete

Would it help if they used foils to help with speed and/or being less conspicuous in the water?

сьогодні цими дронами потоплено ще один каcanський корабель - корвет "сергкй котов".

They should mount the HD video camera on some sort of gimbal or stabilizer to compensate for rough waters for better transmissions and steering.

7:07 Crimean bridge is definitely not 227 meters in length

Неверная информация эти дроны умеют маневрировать что бы уйти из выстрела корабля. По поводу манёвра на видео ничего не показано

Allow me to share a thought and experience with many of you younger people. I remember the Vietnam War and the way it was reported on a daily basis. We were winning all along, UNTIL we lost it.

How do you know all this? You have one of these drones or their exact design was described in Popular mechanics or what?

Durch die Grafik versteht man den Vorgang.. Sehr gut erklärt und skizziert.. Danke 🇩🇪🇺🇦 Ist es nicht gefährlich, diese gute Wasserdrohne so detailliert zu zeigen? Die Russen liegen ca.2 Monate hinter den ukrainischen Erfindungen zurück, aber sie bauen nach und gucken bestimmt auch dieses Video !!

Does FSB actually mean Fast Sinking Boats?

A SeaPoo engine! Awesome.

Great video👍. Just a suggestion. Please just use one type of unit or mention both each time. It just doesnt sounds right when you mentioned 700lb drone then it can carries 300kg war head. Just use one or the other or mention the conversions each time. Thanks

Could have explained more about what are ships defence .

Based on some of the video I've seen of these in high seas, the only improvement I see should be some gyro stabilized camera mounts. From the videos the cameras seem to be hard mounted now which makes me seasick just watching.

How is the counter offensive going

The face of war certainly has changed indeed. EMP surface charges in a porcupine array helo deployed

"the operator pushed the throttle to the max", Full Send!

Bros on fbi wanted list💀

Amazing

Amazing. And the US and NATO are gleaning all sorts of Intel and Lessons Learned in real time.

1. Magura does not use Starlink 2. The road bridge was destroyed by a truck with explosives, not by sea drones

One drone attack, 25 APCs or tanks gone! Bullseye!

Can you do a Video on Russian UMPK ?

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️💪

Fantastic video, highly informative. I learned a lot. The vessels that are being sunk are not what we think of from WW2. They are thin skinned with little or no compartmentalization. Once the hull is breached it is difficult to control flooding. That is why the cruiser "Moskva" took much more damage before going down, she was armored and designed to control flooding.

Do they have a fast reverse? Something in common with the land troops? Also they could not drop a bridge!

The famous Russian Navy is being destroyed in a war with a country that doesn't even have a navy :D

Каждая война дает что то новое. Новое оружие, новая тактика

With inertial navigation aid, and its dead reckoning capability, A Sea Baby doesn't miss the target.

I love this video, i also want to use blender but it seems to be very complex to me. Pls do you have a way for me to learn it easily?

The Kunikov was running not only with standard running lights but actually had deck lights on. Did they not realize they were in enemy water and subject to attack. They should have been completely blacked out. How stupid can the Russians get?

But where is the fuel ⛽ tank in this boat

Ну вы все секреты раскрыли. Надо подводные дроны делать,как торпеды.

Und jetzt bitte den Rest der Schwarzmeer-Flotte des Iwans durch See-Drohnen auch noch versenken.👍👏💪

Молодцы украинцы

Magura in greek is the elderly's cane with the curved edge which they use to help them stand or batter someone! .

so a fishing net will destroy the propeller or block it?

Too bad maskim ilonovitch have switched sides and now tries to block starlink operations on drones.

It's a 40 year old ship built in Poland.

Musk must hate star link being used to attack his Boss's ships. Great video.

i watched the an board video from a drone as it sped toward a russian ship. you could see bullets hitting all around the front of it then when it was 60-70 feet away the shooting stopped. you just knew the "snipers" were running to the other end of the ship.

please make a complete video on Bradley and Russian tank also describe both vehicles and their weapons in detail

With today's news - GREATLY looking forward to reading Putin's OBITUARY ASAP

So you made 150 sec of new video and then just added the older one. :/

Large warships, well armed and equipped, but defenseless? Who is the pioneer of this maritime drone project?

At night that thing must be deadly. US Navy Vet. Freaking scary.

In comparison, US defense corporations cannot wrap their heads around a weapon that costs substantially less than $1 million/unit. Thanks Ukraine for showing the way.

Slava Ukrania 🇺🇦

damn that is some lightning fast production time! this just happened a couple days ago! but why wasn't the russian ship able to detect its approach?

Nice presentation, but I am sceptical about the bomb triggering model showed here. With such shape profile and impact fuses on the the very top - the angle tolerance to trigger the fuses would be very narrow. If the drone crashed at target with small derogation from perpendicularity it could destroy frontal side, without triggering the explosion. So I think that triggering system is different than shown or there are many backup systems, including also accelerometers.

I just learnt from Wikipedia that the Polish word Ropucha is used because the ship was built in Poland. Ropucha (pronounced roh-puh-hah) means toad in Polish (you know, similar to a frog ;-) ). Cheers!

btw 'ropucha' mean a toad

So it's a long-range smart torpedo.

Autonomously?

Most incredible drone

If this was crossed with a jumping mine, they could maybe hit the underside of the kerch bridge with a shaped charge.

A video on the alleged Russian nuke in space would be great AXTELL.

These sea drones should carry air drones on their decks for further versatility

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪

Any other world leader would say: "OK, I have no response, I'm going to negotiate an end to this conflict before my entire Navy gets sunk." Putin, on the other hand...

Very interesting

Perhaps this is a great idea for all third world countries that do not want to host the US or UK fleet.

This is not a Russian ship, but a Soviet one. 14 republics of the Soviet Union created Russia - ships, subways, schools, airplanes, power plants, hospitals, factories. Russia itself did nothing - it just lost medicine, the army, space, Vladivostok became an internal port of China

The results of the combat use of Ukrainian naval drones indicate that we are dealing with the most up-to-date and effective anti-ship warfare weapon.

Надо больше!

Most likely all other countries are not rethinking their strategy to counter warships.. with this even smaller countries can equipped themselves for defence against any enemies or at least deal heavy damage

This could not have been possible without U.S. targeting information.

Интересно, сработают ли такие же дроны против американских авианосцев?)

Very efective but wonder how those huge war ships haven't a sufisticated radar to find the drones . Wars ships are build with some of the best thecnologys to fight in land or sea . The fact drones move that easy to target them is nuts .

Amazing how fast he pushed out this content when it only just happened.

Crimea is "annexed"? More like occupied

Whoever knows something about the boats would know they can't have such a range. They are designed as planing boats, that's why they can reach high speeds. But at high speeds they would have very short range. Their cruise speed is probably more in about 20 knot range. From Ukrainian shore to the location of the strike is more than 400 nautical miles. At cruise speed that is 20hours. Propuslsion is based on a SeaDoo technology. It is well known, easy to obtain and also there is a lot of data available. I don't know exactly what model they used, for my calculation I used a mid range model, although it's much lighter than this drone. It has fuel consumption of 35-40 litres per hour. That would equate to 700-800 litres of fuel. And this is at a distance shorter than the claimed range of 800 kms. No way it can carry that much fuel. There is a possibility that it could travel at long distances in displacement mode, but there are several other factors to be taken into account. Planing boats are not very fficient in displacement mode, wated jet is not very efficient at low speeds, it's displacement top speed would be some 4.5 to 5 knots max, that means it would take it 80 hours, more than three days to reach it's target, they would be exposed to detection for three full days. My bet is they were not launched from the coast in the first place. Most likely from some NATO ship, maybe even from some civilian cargo ship. Then there is a ''small'' thing about guidance. Starlink does not work in or around Crimea. I'm 99.5% they are using US/NATO assets to relay the signal at minimum. BTW, on the day of the strike there was extremely big activity of recconaissance assets in the area. There was the usual RQ-4, P-8, RC-135, E-3. All at the same time! I've seen them all there before, but not at the same time. Maybe, actually, probably, there were even more. That indicates direct NATO involvement.

I had to stop the video- Questions. I did not hear where this weapons was developed- good. 2/ How did you access this highly detailed information? 3/ It's too late now- but this video basically gives the instructions to our enemies- how to build the weapon. I'm puzzled- who are you trying to impress? What is the potential collateral damage? Respectfully ?

Congradulation's Ukraine, for making it into the drone's club. Roa Aotearoa nui.

Please Sub and Hit the Notification Bell to help us grow

Shocking how the radar on the ships cannot identify these small crafts moving. Russia needs to work on this

Interesting

About retreat from silo Base...Guy which Participated give interwiev..he said they tried two time to brake out first time by night 10 ppl tried it only 3 wounded come Back,(he was one of them) second time they managed to get out 7 ppl died and they abandon all wounded..

So, what about using two smaller ships at each side of a big ship like this, which are carrying a super solid net, a bit like those on a tennis field, but here as long as the big ship: one little ship cruising at the bow of the ship, one parallel to the stern, and in between them the long net: of course a seadrone could first hit the small ship, but that would immediately send an alarm. The other thing that would be possible would be to aim in between the small and the big ships, but there would be more eyes on the look out, since both the folks on the small ships and the big ship would be on the look out. It would not stop all attacks but it would make it more difficult. However, no idea if the small ships with such a long net could keep up the same speed as the big one. But well, I"m sure creative engineers can come up with some solution to decrease the chances of big ships being such sitting ducks for mosquito boats....
