River drones began to be developed in 2023 at the request of the Ukrainian military, which needed to counter the rotations of Russian troops on the islands on the Dnieper. The drone is currently undergoing military tests in two brigades of the Armed Forces, writes "Military".
“We’re FPV too, just on the water,” says the drone developer.
In addition to spying and reconnaissance missions, a river drone loaded with kilograms of explosives can easily sink Russian boats.
Such a drone costs less than 100,000 hryvnias, and the company is capable of producing up to 100 boats per month.
