The Security Service of Ukraine presented the first maritime drone, which was created thanks to a wide collection of volunteers. The SBU informs that like any model of maritime drone, "Awdijiwka" will undergo a full cycle of sea trials. During this process, a team of programmers will adapt the latest onboard weapons, specially designed and produced for use on multifunctional platforms. "The next-generation drone is improved and even more deadly to the enemy," reads a post published by the SBU.

"The future lies in a technological approach to warfare. Today, the Security Service of Ukraine strives to be the first in this direction, and it truly succeeds. In the ranks of the SBU, we have acquired exceptional specialists in maritime drones to further improve and scale the efforts to clear the Black Sea of ​​enemies. Our task is to destroy the occupiers and bring victory closer," said the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Maluk.

As noted by one of the SBU members using the pseudonym "Hunter", the new drone has improved technical parameters, better combat capabilities, and maneuverability. "The SBU has conceived this drone as a universal platform on which various weapons will be placed", he said.

Artem Dekhtyarenko, a spokesman for the Security Service of Ukraine, said on a Ukrainian telethon that the new "Sea Baby" is capable of carrying almost a ton of explosives over a distance of a thousand kilometers. This means that the SBU will be able to reach the target practically anywhere in the Black Sea. "Russians are going to have a very hot summer vacation this year," Artem Dekhtyarenko said.
