 Russians push to match Ukraine in kamikaze sea drones. The Russian military industry seeks to close the gap with Ukraine in the development of surface kamikaze drones reports the British Ministry of Defence. As noted in the summary on November 27, 2023, Mikhailo Danilenko, the head of the Russian company KMZ, announced that their drones would be tested in the war with Ukraine to establish serial production in 2024. According to UK Intelligence, KMZ previously produced some drones but in recent months they have begun promoting their kamikaze drone capabilities. Danilenko said that the boat can carry ammunition weighing up to 600kg. Navies have employed SUVs since the Second World War, however with modern types resembling speedboats packed with explosives in the hands of Ukrainian forces they have emerged as a key capability in maritime domain since Russia's full-scale invasion, the UK Ministry of Defence notes. In July 2023, the security service of Ukraine attacked the Crimean Bridge with sea baby sea drones. The drones were controlled by a team from Kyiv during the attack on the bridge. The distance to the bridge was more than 900km. The agency used exclusively its forces and means to create a marine drone. According to Vasyl Malyuk, head of the security service of Ukraine, Western partners are also interested in sea baby manufacturing technology. In 2023, Ukraine broke through the blockade and started exporting from the ports of Velika Odessa.
