Barracuda maritime drones operated by Ukraine’s 40th Marine Brigade approach Russian positions and launched FPV drones from their decks during a special operation in Kherson region. What makes the operation particularly notable is the use of multiple drones, each configured for a different role. One Barracuda was armed with unguided rockets, while another carried a retractable mast antenna designed to extend communications range for the FPV drones launched from the maritime platforms.
