🇫🇮 NATO is conducting tests of the new Finnish reconnaissance unmanned airship Kelluu LTA about 12 m long. The airship is equipped with daytime and infrared cameras, as well as passive radio control systems, allowing covert surveillance and data transmission even beyond the radio horizon. The tests are part of the REPMUS 25 and Dynamic Messenger exercises, where the integration of aerial, surface, and underwater drones into NATO's common data exchange system for reconnaissance and scouting is practiced. The main task of such devices is constant monitoring of maritime areas, including the protection of underwater cables, which have already been targets of Russian sabotage.

First Combat Use of Underwater Kamikaze Drones: Russian Kilo class Submarine Disabled in Novorossiysk The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation in the port of Novorossiysk, marking the first-ever combat use of underwater kamikaze drones. During the operation, SBU-operated Sub Sea Baby underwater drones struck a Russian Navy Project 636.3 submarine (Varshavyanka class; NATO designation: Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel. The submarine was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used by Russia for strikes against Ukrainian territory. The operation was conducted jointly by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. A Varshavyanka-class submarine is estimated to cost around USD 400 million. Due to international sanctions, building a comparable submarine today could cost up to USD 500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because of its low acoustic signature and reduced sonar visibility. The submarine had been stationed in Novorossiysk after earlier Sea Baby surface-drone operations forced Russian naval assets to leave Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.

These aquatic robots are more advanced than they look!🐬 Early versions developed by Walt Disney Imagineering started as simple underwater drones, essentially radio-controlled machines, using jet pumps for propulsion and servo motors for control. Functional, but clearly nothing new. Then came the biomimetic stuff. Larger prototypes began mimicking dolphins, using fins instead of propellers to create smooth, organic motion. Servos control vertical and lateral movement, making them move much closer to real animals than traditional underwater drones. The latest invention is autonomous hydrofoils. These platforms use GPS, ultrasonic sensors, and self-balancing control to follow precise trajectories on water, enabling synchronized, repeatable motion for large-scale shows. That's so cool! 😎 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

‼️🇰🇵 North Korea has unveiled what it claims is its first nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, inspected by Kim Jong Un. While experts question Pyongyang’s ability to field a reliable naval reactor, the signal is clear: its nuclear deterrent is moving beyond land. Even a partially functional nuclear sub would complicate planning for the United States, South Korea, and Japan by forcing expanded anti-submarine patrols and pushing naval forces farther offshore. For NATO allies, it underscores a dangerous shift: North Korea’s nuclear doctrine is going mobile and underwater. See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKE

If confirmed, this would be the first documented use of submersible strike drones against a docked submarine. According to Ukrainian reporting, the attack employed a new “Sub Sea Baby” system, an underwater evolution of earlier surface maritime drones. The Varshavyanka class, known to NATO as the Improved Kilo, is among Russia’s most capable diesel-electric submarines and a frequent launch platform for Kalibr cruise missiles used against Ukrainian cities. Russia denies damage, claiming the underwater vehicle detonated against a pier. Ukrainian-released footage shows a large underwater explosion adjacent to moored warships. Independent reporting confirms a detonation inside the harbor, though the extent of damage remains unverified. The strategic implication is clear. Novorossiysk was selected as a fallback base after Ukrainian surface drone operations forced Russia’s Black Sea Fleet out of Sevastopol and other Crimean peninsula ports. An underwater strike inside that harbor signals that relocation alone does not restore sanctuary. Port defenses appear increasingly inadequate against low-signature, expendable systems designed for confined maritime environments. A single Varshavyanka-class submarine is typically valued at $400–500 million. Ukraine’s maritime drones cost a fraction of that. Even without confirmed destruction, forcing submarines to remain in port degrades Russia’s strike capacity and shifts operational pressure.
