Ukraine has developed the Poloz-M16 combat kayak, equipped with grenade launchers, as a cost-efficient, durable, and covert defense solution. The kayak, costing $2,500 per unit, can transport soldiers and cargo, and is lightweight and maneuverable for river battles. It features a Ukrainian-produced NATO-type UAG-40 grenade launcher that can fire projectiles over a mile away while maintaining stability on water. The combat kayaks have already been used successfully in a nighttime operation, aiding in securing the passage of an assault group and forcing Russian forces to retreat. This is part of Ukraine's broader campaign to develop unconventional military solutions to counter Russia's aggression and become a powerhouse in military technology.
