    I’m not surprised. Ukraine has taught us that drones can be a cheap and shockingly effective attack vector for ships.

    If you find out that for $200 or often less you can remotely deploy a drone that sinks a ship, you’re obviously going to look into defensive measures.

      If you fly in maverick into a ship all it’s going to happen is you’re going to have a broken maverick. The drones attacking ships in Ukraine are kamikaze boats, not flying vehicles.

      I don’t think some random nobody with a vendetta is going to be able to get hold of one
