Ukraine's security service detailed how it used a drone with an airburst warhead to disable a Russian Sea Dragon reconnaissance aircraft, laying the groundwork for a subsequent attack on a Russian submarine in the Black Sea, highlighting advancements in Ukraine's military tactics and technology.
Sweden's world-leading submarine fleet, known for its advanced conventional submarines, will greatly enhance NATO's submarine capabilities in the Baltic Sea. With its regional expertise and experience operating submarines in the Baltic since 1904, Sweden fills a crucial gap in NATO's underwater capabilities. The shallow depth of the Baltic Sea makes it unsuitable for nuclear-powered submarines, giving Sweden an advantage. Additionally, Sweden's submarines can stay submerged for longer periods due to their unique ability to recharge batteries underwater using liquid oxygen. In anticipation of future autonomous underwater warfare, Sweden has ordered two new submarines with a multi-mission portal for remotely operated vehicles, making them ideal for seabed warfare and protecting critical infrastructure.
