The deployment of six underwater drones in Ukraineto help it neutralize sea mines planted by Russia off its coast, the Great Britain.
These “lightweight and autonomous” unmanned underwater vehicles are “designed for use in shallow coastal environments” and “they are capable of operating effectively at a depth of up to 100 meters to detect, locate and identify mines (…) so that the Ukrainian Navy can neutralize them”explained the British Ministry of Defense in the press release it published.
According to the same img, “dozens of members of the Ukrainian Navy will be trained in the use of these drones over the coming months, training has already begun for the first of them”. Training in their use will be carried out by British and US military personnel.
The granting of this military aid was announced as, always according to the British Ministry of Defence, “Russia is turning food into a weapon by destroying Ukrainian agriculture and imposing a blockade on the country’s Black Sea ports to prevent its export”.
Although some cargo ships carrying grain have been able to leave Ukraine under the terms of a UN-brokered deal, food exports are “being hampered by sea mines laid by Russian forces along the coast,” according to London.
In May, Boris Johnson announced £300m (€355m) of military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, following a previous £450m package of mostly missiles.
