Foreign sources report a previously unknown type of unmanned surface vessel (USV) in the Black Sea. Preliminary image analysis reveals prominent elements on the nose, probably contact fuses for detonating a warhead upon impact. The hull includes instruments believed to be satellite communications, navigation and opto-electronic tracking, along with a possible radar station. It is likely that a water jet propulsion system is installed in the stern, which allows internal positioning of propulsion components and eliminates open propellers. Although similar in layout to hitting naval UAVs used in the Black Sea, the design is not fully compatible with publicly known models. Speculation links the mechanism to the Russian Morna-300S project, although definitive identification remains impossible due to low-quality source images. Neither Russia nor Ukraine have commented or released data regarding the use of such USVs.
