This marks the first time an autonomous naval launcher has been used in combat.
The naval drones are armed with a 122 mm multiple launch rocket system that has been tested under real conditions. According to reports, the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy successfully used these drones to strike Russian positions at the occupied Kinburn Spit.
“Our Sea Baby is not just a drone, but a multifunctional platform that is constantly being improved. Today, we can confirm that they are equipped with a multiple rocket launch system, and this technological solution is already showing strong results. The enemy can expect new surprises,” said a spokesperson for the security service.
The rocket launcher is mounted on top of the maritime drone, capable of launching six 122 mm rockets simultaneously. The Sea Baby continues the development of previous Ukrainian USVs, featuring a low-visibility gray design with advanced optical sensors and beyond line-of-sight communications for remote control.
A prominent enclosure resembling a radome on the Sea Baby houses a satellite communication antenna, enabling attacks on targets at great distances. The production of Sea Baby drones is one of the projects funded by the United24 platform.
