In the driving rain, they resemble something more akin to a Boston Whaler, rather than hiding one of Ukraine’s most closely guarded secrets. Perched on the banks of a secret lake, CNN was given exclusive access to the base where much-vaunted sea – or surface – drones are tested. As the tarps are drawn back, a gun-gray, sleek hull appears. Just over five meters in length, its narrow shape resembles a wide canoe.
The pre-dawn attack left a section of the bridge unpassable and out of service until September. The developer, watching his brainchild churn water, says the “these drones are a completely Ukrainian production. They are designed, drawn and tested here. It’s our own production of hulls, electronics and software. More than 50% of the production of equipment is here .” The Russians have yet to adjust to Ukraine’s newest capabilities, they claim.
