American USV closely filmed a Chinese Navy Type 052D destroyer https://www.reuters.com/world/china/commercial-sea-drone-captures-footage-chinese-warship-philippine-waters-2026-07-29/
Ukraine demonstrated that a conventional amphib assault is impossible today.
Would this imply that Chinese USV's are watching Western vessels?
>>65377584No it wouldnt
Inconceivable, I was informed by completely organic /k/itizens that the US was far behind in this technology
>>65377584Yes
>>65377600they had to buy some from zelensky
>>65377609I was informed by completely organic /k/itizens that the relationship between the US and all of its allies had completely broken down and Europe and Ukraine had been betrayed and consequently raped by the Russians and forced to drill holes in their spoons.
>>65377616they had to buy the spoons from zelensky

>>65377910btw this was sarcasm not an actual vatnik post.
>>65377651KekThe revelation to me of the russian prison caste system truly paints russians and Indians as brothers
>>65377135Wumao and Vatniks don't want to acknowledge that the USN has been operating USV for years and has hundreds of them.
>>65377943Federation p'tagh!

Why the fuck do you think operation overlord had so much misinfo campaigns around it to make it a little bit less shit?Fuck off if you don't know what you're talking about. Gay faggot.

>>65377135This is unacceptabre! Finar rine has been cross!
>>65377135This company is called Saronic and is based in Austin of all weird places. They're making everything from surveillance torpedoes (you read that right) to destroyer sized completely automated warships. On one hand its pretty neat, on the other its like ... fuck.>>65377600The thought that we're behind on anything with a MIC budget higher than the rest of the world combined is hilarious. The dude with the biggest dick in the room doesn't need to brag.
Not shooting at it != not seeing itThey probably yoinked it like in 2016https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/1032823/chinese-seize-us-navy-underwater-drone-in-south-china-sea/
>>65378426Vely tlue.
>>65377584Maybe so
>>65378439Indeed
>>65377823That webm is fake. They are all hiding their faces, he doesn't really fight it and why is the baton clean after they apparently pulled it out of his ass?
>>65378040You are the spiritual equivalent of the WWI general who dismissed the Crimean War and the US Civil War as backwater conflicts with no lessons to learn, right before you order men to waltz into machinegun fire.
>>65377135>>65377538>>65377584>American drone-maker Seasats by now has form in this ridiculous product advertising via illiterate media reporting.>No, the Seasat Lightfish did not "get close" to the Chinese DDG. Unless the PLAN vessel was dead in the water, it was the other way around.>The Seasat Lightfish has a top speed of 4.5 knots. It effectively travels with oceanic currents (and will be near stationary going against them). A warship such as this cruises at ca 20 knots, and reaches up to 30 knots max. There is no threat.>Seasat ran a similar publicity stunt last year. Back then they at least were honest enough to acknowledge the PLAN Type 055 DDG shadowed the USV, not vice versa. That case also demonstrated the claim about low detectability of their drone is dubious.That same USV company pulled a similar PR stunt last year:https://x.com/i/status/2082628103395057823https://breakingdefense.com/2025/08/usv-maker-seasats-says-drone-came-within-meters-of-chinese-warship-during-pacific-transit/
