1st the word your looking for is Banzai not Kamikaze Banzai is the suicide charge where you die killing as many of them as possible Kamikaze is what Japan called their pilots that would banzai and the word means "divine wind" and these pilots would banzai charge the ships slamming their plains into them to do as much damage as possible 2nd drone attacks with ships have existed for thousands of years with the first form being fire ships a fire ship is a ship packed full of explosive material and flammable material a fire would be started on the ship and the crew(everyone but the slaves rowing the ship) would jump into the water and swim back to their fleet once the fire spread to the flammable material it would spread to the explosive material and blow up the ship and spread the flammable material across the enemy fleet as the slaves chained to the ship would still be rowing the ship at the enemy ships the explosion would then spread the flames and flammable material to the other ships burning the people on the decks and causing fires to brake out on these ships at this point the fleet that launched the fire ship would engage the now burning fleet of ships and wipe them out during all the chaos of explosion and burning ships turns out if your an idiot is doesn't matter so long as your country is one of the few victories ones as history is writing by the victorious not the defeated

People also tend to forget that the ships that have been sunk by drones were mostly in port: ie unmoving targets. They'd also been sitting there for a lomg time so it wasn't hard to know exactly where it would be and when, ans when it came under attack the ships couldn't go anywhere, and even then the Ukrainians got really lucky since the Russians had a bunch of their defenses deactivated and those defenses are, well, Russian, so you can imagine the quality

@@2006gtobob They'll probably get there eventually but there are issues with long range drones that Ukraine is already dealing with. The signals can get jammed the closer they get to electronic warfare stations and jammers so they either need some way of operating without a signal, effectively turning them into guided missiles but without a missiles speed, or you give them some way of picking their targets with a targeting system but that also essentially turns them into a guided missile. This isnt a huge issue on land since there's tons of things like terrain that makes it harder to spot and target drones, so you can send the drone in close to the target before having to worry about a lot of that, especially since on land the targets are much more spread out. At sea though there's nowhere to hide, nothing to really obscure the drones positions, and the targets are pretty concentrated and since they're so concentrated it means you have to send those drones past more and better radar/electronic warfare stations in the form of screening ships and picket ships. For drones to be really useful on the open ocean they either need to be sent in swarms to overwhelm the enemy, something that we're already figure out ways to protect against, they need to be powerful enough to still maintain a connection which massively increases their cost, or the drones need to be smart enough to operate similar to how they would if they were controlled by a pilot and that's the tough part. Even if we plug ChatGPT into a kamikaze drone there's another issue in that all that technology will likely up the cost which reduces some of the benefits of a drone which means we also need to bring down costs on smart drones once they are developed. Similarly we could make the drones capable of overcoming the jamming but that's going to be expensive and unreliable since it could lead to an arms race of stronger jammers and since it's easier to fit a bigger jammer on a capitol ship then counter measures on a cheap drone that's less a less viable solution.

Russia can’t afford to add that shit to their ships, because they can barely afford to even keep the ships they have, maintained. It’s just going to require R&D to come up with the most efficient and cost efficient ways of countering drones.

@theeatherlash69

Ай бұрын

The Neptune was completed before the invasion. Harpoon came after and was developed by the US, not by the UK. Development was not parallel; the Americans (through NATO) provided Ukraine the tech to make their own missile knowing the war would come by supplying some parts to appear less involved in the war, and the UK supplied Harpoon Missiles (provided to them by the U.S.) later. This is all from unclassified sources - including Wikipedia - with appropriate news references, dated articles and dated version history you can look at. (This is why Wikipedia provides you access to past versions of the articles so you can see what people edited/tried to edit and the date stamps to those old versions.) Neptune is actually better and more modern than the versions of The OLD Harpoon they were given. Russia has been fighting OLD NATO-tech most of the time - often outside of it's service-date as well - not the stuff NATO keeps for itself or uses in modern engagements.

The Houthis are also trying to pull off the same thing on the Red Sea. They haven't been as successful in targeting military vessels,, but they've succeeded in basically blocking off most shipping. It's a dangerous new world for conventional vessels.

Nah, the torpedo boats would just get droned. Gotta just make a big floating swarm and have it hang out somewhere in the water. You could even make them submersible like drug traffickers' subs. Then it's just driveable sea mines. Sea warfare is going to get interesting.

The Swedish Navy is composed almost entirely of fast assault craft. 165 of them, cruising around the Baltic Sea. Standard armament is naval mines and depth charges, but they can also be equipped with hellfire missile launcher and with drone control equipment. Should probably be fairly easy for them to drop autonomous stealth torpedoes close to the target.

Naval drone warfare won't make large ships obsolete, materiel in warfare has been dictated by their role. This just necessitates large surface vessels to be accompanied by large groups of destroyer vessels with the capability to handle target saturated environments which were so named for their capability to sink torpedo boats swarms.

@@meteorknight999 Human warriors have been "obsolete" since the sword and bow. You can easily destroy a person that it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades to produce with a cheap bullet. The problem is that you need a human warrior to take and hold territory so we still field warriors despite how commonly they are destroyed. If you want to deny enemy ships from an area away from your coast you'll need a ship on station to keep eyes and act as a drone/missile platform. That ship being vulnerable to attack is immaterial because you can't do it cheaper some other way. Big Guns were less effective than planes, so the battleship was replaced by aircraft carriers. A carrier could do everything the battleship did and more. But can a kamikaze drone do what a destroyer does? Or will we just have to accept that some ships will be sunk so they'll have to build more, smaller ships for redundancy?
