Ukraine Releases Videos of Unmanned Surface Vessel

For the first time, Ukraine released a video showing their unmanned surface vessel (USV) that has been used to strike numerous targets across the Black Sea.

According to H I Sutton, there are reports that these craft carry an 860kg warhead. It’s believed that at least five of this most recent variant have been built with two of them being used against the Kerch Bridge. Most of the strikes against Russian Naval vessels appear to have utilized different models.

Recent Footage of Ukraine Assaulting Russian Positions

While the counteroffensive has been going on for a few months now, we’ve seen limited footage of the actual attacks taking place. At least in terms of armored assaults moving across open terrain and taking the fight to the enemy. This week a few videos came out showing Ukraine pressing the attack.

First video shows a pair of Ukrainian tanks conducting a daytime raid on Russian positions near Urozhaine which is approximately 10km south of Velyka Novosilka, one of the three main axis of advance for the offensive. Second video is pretty intense first person combat footage. Shows elements of the 59th Motorized Brigade dodging Russian artillery, striking a mine and then eventually taking the enemy position.
