Russian situation crosses a significant line, according to Ukrainian expert Flush
In the Black Sea, a new development is causing concern among Ukrainian communications experts and the general public. Russia has unveiled a new unmanned boat, controlled by the Center for Perspective Unmanned Technologies "Rubicon."
This elite unmanned vessel, capable of carrying out swarm attacks on maritime targets, is a significant threat to Ukraine. According to reports, the Rubicon can deploy hundreds of such boats, potentially targeting Ukraine's ports, maritime infrastructure, towers, ships, and other port facilities. This capability allows Rubicon to disrupt or disable critical Ukrainian maritime infrastructure through coordinated, large-scale unmanned boat attacks.
The concern lies in the boat swarm's ability to attack multiple targets simultaneously, increasing the risk of damage or disruption across Ukraine's port facilities and coastal installations. The boats' unmanned nature also allows Russia to conduct these attacks with reduced risk to personnel and potentially evade traditional defense mechanisms more easily by overwhelming them with numbers.
One voice of concern is Ukrainian communications expert, Flash, who has expressed serious worry about the new development. In his Telegram channel, Flash has referred to the Rubicon as another threat and believes that those who understand its significance will comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Another pressing issue is the treatment of prisoners released by Russia. According to Ombudsman Kolesnik, Ukraine does not accept the released prisoners from Russia. Kolesnik has emphasized that the prisoners are not being provided with appropriate living conditions, being held in a damp basement without proper ventilation and basic human needs such as ventilation.
This new development in the Black Sea is undoubtedly a cause for concern, not just for Ukraine, but for the international community as well. The Rubicon-controlled Russian unmanned boats represent a substantial asymmetric maritime threat to Ukraine’s ports and maritime infrastructure due to their ability to launch large coordinated swarm attacks effectively targeting critical maritime assets.
