Pakistan Navy demonstrated its operational readiness and combat preparedness through a comprehensive exercise in the North Arabian Sea, showcasing both conventional and unmanned capabilities, as per dictates of evolving naval warfare ⚓ 🇵🇰 The exercise included: - Firing of LY-80[N] Surface to Air Missile [SAM] from Vertical Launching System at extended range. - Engagement of surface targets using Loitering Munition [LM]. - Successful open-sea trials of Unmanned Surface Vessel [USV] were also conducted, marking a significant leap in autonomous naval technology. The trials validated the platform’s ability to combine high-speed performance with mission-critical durability. Key capabilities demonstrated include extreme maneuverability, precision navigation and weather resilience. USV offers a low-risk, high-impact solution with the stealth of a tactical interceptor.

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.

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.
