The German company Stark is developing an unmanned ship that will track the vessels of Russia's shadow fleet, writes Bloomberg. Stark plans to launch a 24-meter-long vessel next year, which will also be able to protect underwater cables. The Vanta 24 ship will be able to carry up to 50 tons of cargo, including missiles and cannons, and will reach a speed of more than 64 km/h. According to the company's CEO Eva Horstmann, such systems cost about a thousand times less than a normal ship with a crew, which takes years, not months, to build. Photo: Stark Defence.
