Die „Sea Baby“-Drohnen der Ukraine definieren die Seekriegsführung neu – kleine, unbemannte Boote, die 1.500 km zurücklegen, mit Raketen zuschlagen und Supermächte dazu zwingen können, ihre Kampfweise auf See zu überdenken.

If you blow up the bridge of a ship, is that ship decapitated?
I can imagine the possibilities of things like these when the manufacturing power is scaled up and these can be launched off larger ships.
This seems pretty wildly exagerated – so far these things have overwhelmingly failed, with the vast majority shot down having achieved nothing.
For comparison, Ukraine managed to shoot down a Russian Cruiser using standard anti-ship missiles and destroyed a Russian submarine in port using stealthy cruise missiles.
If Ukraine had some modern stealth jets like the F-35 and some more modern anti-ship missiles like LRASM, the Russian black sea fleet would have already been sunk.
These drones are only used because Ukraine lacks the vastly better alternatives other states have; dont confuse that with these things being some sort of wonderwaffe.

So, we had sea drones in WWII. Thanks for coming to the TEDTalk.
Like watching ants take down a giant preying mantis.
Small fast boat companies should be purchased by western governments and create 1000s of these per month and send them all to Ukraine.

I picture sea drone carriers or air dropped systems in the future rendering most large warships obsolete. Considering Ukraine’s success against Russia despite not having a Navy it seems like an obvious direction. It well could be Taiwan’s main defence in future as well.
