A Russian explosive FPV drone has targeted a Ukrainian unmanned surface vessel (USV), marking what is likely another significant first in unmanned warfare coming out of Ukraine.
The USV appears to be a Magura V5, which have been increasingly used in recent months to target Russian naval vessels of the Black Sea Fleet in the waters around Crimea.
FPV drones have already begun to target other unmanned systems in the air and on land, with this latest strike showing unmanned warfare has now crossed into the maritime domain for the conflict.
Possibly the first documented case of a strike with FPV drone targeting an unmanned surface vehicle (USV).
