Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of launching unmanned surface vehicle strikes on Crimea, which was annexed in 2014.
Moscow has laid out floating, spiked boom defenses in the hope of fending off Ukrainian drone attacks in Crimea, according to Mash, a Russian news outlet known for sharing exclusive content sourced from Moscow security agencies. Booms are long barriers deployed on water that aim to stop surface drones getting close to their targets.
Crimea, located to the south of mainland Ukraine, was annexed by Russia in 2014. Although Moscow's control of the territory is not internationally recognized, many Russian citizens now reside on or visit the peninsula, and Russia has a number of military bases in Crimea. On July 17, Moscow said that two Ukrainian USVs had targeted the Kerch Bridge, linking Crimea to Russia. It is very difficult for Russia to protect the length of the bridge from Ukrainian surface drones, which are hard to detect until shortly before they reach their target, experts suggested toAnalysts say Ukrainian attack USVs lie very close to the water, and with their small size, they are very difficult for Russian forces to spot visually or with radar and sonar.
