Ukrainian drones a source of gripe for Russians in the Donbass steppe region
Reports have emerged suggesting that the Ukrainian Defense Forces may have used marine drones during defensive operations in the Donbas region, specifically in the village of Katerynivka. However, these claims have been met with scepticism, as no objective evidence supporting this account has been provided by any source other than the occupier's account.
The Russian occupier commander reportedly claimed to have witnessed a boat-like marine drone sailing without anyone in it, and it was loaded. This incident allegedly took place at the Koblevo reservoir. Yet, no further details about the nature or type of marine drone were provided, nor were there any details about the consequences or impact of using such drones in this instance.
It is important to note that Defense Express, the Ukrainian analytical project that reported these claims, states that there is no objective evidence (photos or videos) supporting the occupier's claim of Ukrainian marine drones being used in the steppes of Donbas. Furthermore, no confirmation or response from the Ukrainian Defense Forces regarding the usage of marine drones in Donbas is provided in the article. Similarly, no information about the status of the village of Katerynivka was given in the article.
Interestingly, the marine drones used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces are provided by the joint venture NVL Kraken, which combines NVL Group's expertise in naval shipbuilding with Kraken Technologies' modular and cost-efficient unmanned maritime platforms. Variants like K3 SCOUT, K4 MANTA, and the armed K5 KRAKEN are part of this joint venture's offerings. However, no specific details about the drones used in the reported incident were provided in the article.
In light of the lack of concrete evidence, Defense Express urges caution when interpreting these claims. It is crucial to await further confirmation or denial from the relevant parties before drawing definitive conclusions. Until then, the situation remains unclear, and the use of marine drones by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Donbas region remains a topic of speculation.
