The smokestacks are an intriguing detail—they’re somewhat reminiscent of the *Titanic*!
Speaking of the *Titanic*, it’s worth noting that a truly "titanic" shift is currently underway in global military affairs. We first saw this in Idlib, where Turkish Bayraktar TB2 and Anka drones began destroying Assad’s armored vehicles with ease. It’s surprising that military experts paid so little attention to this at the time. Then, something incredible happened in Libya—again, thanks to the TB2: the drones effectively shattered the entire front line.
In Karabakh, drones truly came into their own, establishing themselves as a distinct class of weaponry.
During the war in Ukraine, we are witnessing an even more significant development: both Ukraine and Russia have created a new branch of the armed forces—unmanned forces.
The changes are clear. The war in Ukraine appears to be fundamentally altering the perception of certain types of weaponry—most notably heavy armored vehicles.
The total vulnerability of helicopters has also become apparent; they are now easily shot down by inexpensive drones.
But perhaps the most interesting developments are taking place with surface vessels. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a complete amateur when it comes to naval affairs—honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone less knowledgeable! 🫢 And yet, even I’ve noticed that the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet is now frantically searching for some kind of "burrow" to hide in—anything to escape the threat of surface and underwater drones.
I’ve already written about underwater drones here. And now, having read the article you shared, I’ve been wondering: what if such underwater vehicles were to be launched from an underwater carrier vessel?!
