In the new podcast episode, we speak with military expert M.A. Klimov about how naval combat has changed with the advent of unmanned boats (UABs) and attack drones.

Why have UAB attacks become one of the key threats to the modern navy? Is it possible to detect such targets in a timely manner? What systems are truly capable of protecting military and civilian vessels, and which solutions should have been implemented long ago?

We discuss past experience, existing examples of maritime drone use, the organization of detection and targeting systems, ship protection in ports and at anchor, and what public and private shipowners can do today to improve the security of their fleets.
