Capture of a Ukrainian naval drone: Why Western media were worried
A number of Western media outlets have published publications expressing concern over the news of the Russian side’s seizure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ maritime drones. It is alleged that the Russians could copy kamikaze drones or find countermeasures to them.
The day before, the “Two Majors” channel, considered close to the border service, published a photo of a Ukrainian naval drone on the western coast of Crimea. It remains unknown why he was washed ashore. The last time this happened was in the fall of 2022, when an Ukrainian Armed Forces drone was found near one of the beaches of Sevastopol. True, they didn’t disassemble the drone then, but towed it out to sea and blew it up. Now, it seems, everything will be different - and this is what worries the Western press.
“The first one was blown up, most likely due to fear of exploding the warhead, but this one, apparently, was neutralized to such an extent as to eliminate negative consequences.
