$400 Drone Shatters World Record, Wrecks $500M Russian Warship 350km Away
Story by Tom Peterson•
 
On August 28, 2025, Ukraine demonstrated a radical maritime capability. In a covert operation deep in Russian-controlled waters, Ukrainian intelligence used a simple FPV drone to disable a Russian Buyan-M-class missile corvette.

The uncrewed craft first jammed the vessel’s radar and then struck its hull, forcing the warship to withdraw from its patrol area.

Analysts hailed this as a paradigm shift: even a hobbyist drone, costing only a few hundred dollars, could threaten high-value warships at great distance. This bold exploit signaled a new chapter where asymmetrical technology can overwhelm traditional naval defenses.

Very Cool.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
