UUV's: Underwater Drones and Seabed Warfare

UUVs or Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, are set to make the same kind of impact that UAVs previously made on the modern battlefield. With their vast operational capacities and affordable price tags, we are not only seeing major players like the US, Russia, and China engaged in a dire dash for future ocean supremacy, but also several smaller players who previously were locked out of the subsurface battlespace due to the high costs of conventional submarines. Will these new weapons serve merely as long-range recon vehicles for the major powers, or will UUVs be at the forefront of seabed warfare and underwater infrastructure sabotage? We ask our panel of experts.
On the panel this week:
H. I. Sutton (Covert Shores)
Samuel Bendett (CNA)
Bruce Jones (Brookings Inst.)

    2nd yes drones have changed the balance of warfare and I heard about this 8+ years ago the F-35 was meant to be able to control a wing of drones But if it can who knows

    3:35 did it change modern warfare though ? Drones are most useful as reconnaissance assets

    are you downplaying the role of reconnaissance? I think that both the ngorno-karabakh and russo-ukrainian conflicts are defined by the power of reconnaissance in combination with artillery to win a war of positioning rather than mobility.
