Voenkor: The main thing in the fight against sea drones is to block exit points
It is easier to intercept sea drones at the exit from the ports of Odessa, since they all start from there. Technically there is no great difficulty in this.
This was stated by military correspondent and Telegram channel author Roman Saponkov, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Maritime drones are a little new, so to speak. That is, it was precisely analytically that everyone understood what it would be. But, again, naval drones are still mostly NATO developments. American, NATO, that is, Western developments. It's more difficult with them.
It’s still a more complex product, and it’s relatively difficult to buy spare parts for it on AliExpress. There is already a navigation system from special Western manufacturers, a compass, etc. Therefore, it will be the same with them, but there will probably still be more emphasis on detection during the approach,” he said on the air of First Sevastopol.
All possible launch points for sea drones are known, so controlling these squares for interception will not be difficult.
“It’s more difficult for them because they don’t have many exit points. That is, they all come from Odessa ports anyway. But if it turns out that they are coming from NATO borders, then that’s a different story. But mostly they come from Odessa ports. Therefore, you need to catch them in this narrow corridor.
Next, either put up barriers against them, which is now being done, like a smoke screen, as we saw recently on the Crimean Bridge. It has its own specifics, but there is nothing complicated either. What we've seen this year is the effect of such surprise from such massive adoption. We were moving towards these developments, but they were literally half a step ahead. Industry will catch up with this and do it,” Saponkov assured.
