hi real life lore
Forking clickbait thumbnail and title.
I am just here to downvote and leave a bad comment, I will not watch a second of this trash.

turns out kamikaze bombs are OP once you learn how to recycle 100% of pilot
Wouldn be surprised of in the future we would thousands of cheap drones attacking a target
scary but...yeah@@daisystabs5502
1st the word your looking for is Banzai not Kamikaze
Banzai is the suicide charge where you die killing as many of them as possible
Kamikaze is what Japan called their pilots that would banzai and the word means "divine wind" and these pilots would banzai charge the ships slamming their plains into them to do as much damage as possible
2nd drone attacks with ships have existed for thousands of years with the first form being fire ships
a fire ship is a ship packed full of explosive material and flammable material
a fire would be started on the ship and the crew(everyone but the slaves rowing the ship) would jump into the water and swim back to their fleet
once the fire spread to the flammable material it would spread to the explosive material and blow up the ship and spread the flammable material across the enemy fleet as the slaves chained to the ship would still be rowing the ship at the enemy ships
the explosion would then spread the flames and flammable material to the other ships burning the people on the decks and causing fires to brake out on these ships
at this point the fleet that launched the fire ship would engage the now burning fleet of ships and wipe them out during all the chaos of explosion and burning ships
turns out if your an idiot is doesn't matter so long as your country is one of the few victories ones as history is writing by the victorious not the defeated

Taiwan needs to accelerate making lots of sea-baby-type drones.

@@TheTimurdempire it's almost a 1-1 comparison. A small, relatively weak nation going up against one of the largest militaries in the world. Tiwan needs to be taking notes on how to wage a war like this as well as recognize how China is also watching and anticipating Tiwan to do this.

Taiwanese citizens are full on rejecting their status as a CIA proxy state and are renouncing the American shill Kuomintang politicians in their government - the people aren’t stupid. They are fully aware of what is happening to Ukraine and U.S. complicity in what lead up to the war. And thankfully they are decidedly against become Ukraine 2.0
Can I just say, having an inset map for wider context on the Sevastopol Bay map at 4:27 was quite nice. Well done.
Large blue water navies are completely different than those of the Mediterranean and other shallow waters.
Drones have potential, but the Atlantic and Pacific are huge. Drones do not have the range, speed, or durability to go after enemies in the deep blue.
People also tend to forget that the ships that have been sunk by drones were mostly in port: ie unmoving targets. They'd also been sitting there for a lomg time so it wasn't hard to know exactly where it would be and when, ans when it came under attack the ships couldn't go anywhere, and even then the Ukrainians got really lucky since the Russians had a bunch of their defenses deactivated and those defenses are, well, Russian, so you can imagine the quality
....yet.
@@2006gtobob They'll probably get there eventually but there are issues with long range drones that Ukraine is already dealing with. The signals can get jammed the closer they get to electronic warfare stations and jammers so they either need some way of operating without a signal, effectively turning them into guided missiles but without a missiles speed, or you give them some way of picking their targets with a targeting system but that also essentially turns them into a guided missile.
This isnt a huge issue on land since there's tons of things like terrain that makes it harder to spot and target drones, so you can send the drone in close to the target before having to worry about a lot of that, especially since on land the targets are much more spread out. At sea though there's nowhere to hide, nothing to really obscure the drones positions, and the targets are pretty concentrated and since they're so concentrated it means you have to send those drones past more and better radar/electronic warfare stations in the form of screening ships and picket ships.
For drones to be really useful on the open ocean they either need to be sent in swarms to overwhelm the enemy, something that we're already figure out ways to protect against, they need to be powerful enough to still maintain a connection which massively increases their cost, or the drones need to be smart enough to operate similar to how they would if they were controlled by a pilot and that's the tough part. Even if we plug ChatGPT into a kamikaze drone there's another issue in that all that technology will likely up the cost which reduces some of the benefits of a drone which means we also need to bring down costs on smart drones once they are developed. Similarly we could make the drones capable of overcoming the jamming but that's going to be expensive and unreliable since it could lead to an arms race of stronger jammers and since it's easier to fit a bigger jammer on a capitol ship then counter measures on a cheap drone that's less a less viable solution.
@@arthas640 Russian quality??? Seems to me the 'Russian quality' is mopping the floor with the best the west can supply. It's quite funny when Russia starting using pen & paper to calculate strike zones people laughed at how 'old tech / stupid' stupid the Russians are... until it proved be far more effective than the electronic targeting systems.
Pack it up with batteries or solar power, add AI targeting mechanism and it would reach it's target. They don't need to go fast, and the advantage of the drone is that it cannot sink. (Edit: due to rough weather, I mean. There are plenty videos of drone ships flipping themselves back)
A funny thing, and also a scientific fact: Due to the very low oxygen levels found at the seabed of the Black Sea, organic materials have a very low rate of decay. Meaning that we can see wooden ships from the Hellenic period, 400BC. Because of that, the flag on the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet should be flying for a few decades.
so they've annexed the bottom of the sea?
That's extremely interesting. Thanks!
Actually that's half true. The lack of oxygen gives rise to bacteria that feed on iron amd not organic material. Thus an iron ship would not last anywhere near as long as a wooden ship would

Turkey only does things to benefit Turkey. It's all their leaders care about.
The idea that because something can be destroyed means it is now obsolete keeps coming up in relation to the war in Ukraine. But that's not really how things become obsolete. Warships offer extremely useful capabilities and unless something else can do those jobs better they're not going anywhere. Instead navies will have to invest in protecting those assets.
It would be obsolete if you can overcome its point defenses with waves of drone attack that cost a few thousand each.
Not really naval kamikaze drone can't patrol gobal oceans nor can make inland strike deep within enemy territory nor theses drones cant use do air defense either. @@benjaminrichey278
You are right generally, however this case may be the odd one out.
The main advantage of warships is power projection, Russias Black Sea Fleet can’t do that. In this case, it has actually become kind of obsolete.
On that note, big ships are also by nature big targets, I think they could also be obsolete generally in merely a couple of decades.
Automated drone ships should become the obvious choice.
"invest in protecting" how? navies are already insanely expensive to make and maintain lmao have you ever heard the phrase throwing good money after bad?
Exactly.
Just hyperbolic morons who don’t understand the seesaw that is the “_____ vs Anti-_____” race that has existed since the Dawn of time.
Countering drones is easy relatively speaking… it’s just expensive.
Electronic warfare suites, more guns and so on. Russia can’t afford to add that shit to their ships, because they can barely afford to even keep the ships they have, maintained.
It’s just going to require R&D to come up with the most efficient and cost efficient ways of countering drones.
This should have been done half a decade ago… but unfortunately a lot of morons have been riding the stupid “Peace Dividend” for so long that they don’t understand the need to put MORE FUNDING towards R&D. This ain’t the late 90’s anymore fuckers, this is the 1950’s.

A very interesting and comprehensive report. Thank you for posting it.
Never usually get to hear terms like "cheap $250,000 drones"

Not the first time. In the Battle of Lake Baikal, Russia did not only lose a naval battle to a country with no navy but that country was also landlocked and thus couldn't have a navy even if it wanted to.

Yup.

So they defeated Russia but still Russia owning whole eastern Ukraine, thats not how winning look like
It definitely is a W for Ukraine and really impressive. But speaking plainly ,I don’t think Ukraine is winning this war considering the dependence on US aid and the current U.S national sentiment of stopping the aid. If Trump gets elected you can definitely forget about Ukraine’s aid. Russia also is doing phenomenally well considering all the sanctions the U.S imposed on them and the new trade diplomacy they’ve developed out of it. It just seems like the longer this war goes, the more likely it is for Russia to win.

Agreed and In terms of loss of life, this is probably quite humane since the sunk ships are not out on the open sea, and sink slowly after having been hit once or twice.
This gives the crew more time to orderly evacuate the sinking ship.
Not quite the same as if 2 war ships or fleets actually engage in open sea combat.

Fantastic video.
One interesting point you forgot to mention at 13:00 is that Russia is actually capable of reinforcing their Black Sea navy with their Caspian Sea navy via the Volga-Don canal during the spring and summer months when the canal is not frozen. Ships from Russia’s Caspian Flotilla have played a direct role in supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since 2022, and Russia has already invested over $1 billion in improving the waterway.
There is also a system of inland waterways in Russia, called UDWS, linking the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Volga River, Moscow, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
That is true, but there are certain capabilities in the Black Sea Fleet which can be described as irreplaceable, which have been lost. Namely, the cruiser Moskva and her air defense systems. In addition, it cannot replace potential losses in larger ships such as the Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates, and I don’t believe the Gepards and Buyans have any serious air defense capabilities beyond self-defense. They’d be useful Kalibir lobbers, but not much more.
Fair point, but Caspian Sea is just a lake
They have navy assets worth talking about in the Caspian?
One interesting point is you sound like you are pro-Russia, pro Putin with your comment.

Bring back torpedo boats, but have them launch naval drones.
real
Nah, the torpedo boats would just get droned. Gotta just make a big floating swarm and have it hang out somewhere in the water. You could even make them submersible like drug traffickers' subs.
Then it's just driveable sea mines. Sea warfare is going to get interesting.
The Swedish Navy is composed almost entirely of fast assault craft. 165 of them, cruising around the Baltic Sea.
Standard armament is naval mines and depth charges, but they can also be equipped with hellfire missile launcher and with drone control equipment.
Should probably be fairly easy for them to drop autonomous stealth torpedoes close to the target.
Quick question - have you ever considered making a 5-10 minute summary of the awesome videos you make? I only ask because I'm super interested in the topics and your presentation is so great that I get bummed a bit when I realize I don't have 40 minutes uninterrupted to focus on it (I'm sure you could do a lot longer also!) so I just move on and do other things, accepting that I'll miss out on figuring out, in this example, "how the Russian Navy Lost to a Country Without Any Boats."

Forgot to mention that before Storm Shadow UK supplied Harpoon missiles to Ukraine. Neptun is effectively an analogue of Harpoon. it was Boris Jonson's decision and gift
The Neptune was completed before the invasion. Harpoon came after and was developed by the US, not by the UK. Development was not parallel; the Americans (through NATO) provided Ukraine the tech to make their own missile knowing the war would come by supplying some parts to appear less involved in the war, and the UK supplied Harpoon Missiles (provided to them by the U.S.) later.
This is all from unclassified sources - including Wikipedia - with appropriate news references, dated articles and dated version history you can look at. (This is why Wikipedia provides you access to past versions of the articles so you can see what people edited/tried to edit and the date stamps to those old versions.) Neptune is actually better and more modern than the versions of The OLD Harpoon they were given.
Russia has been fighting OLD NATO-tech most of the time - often outside of it's service-date as well - not the stuff NATO keeps for itself or uses in modern engagements.
The Houthis are also trying to pull off the same thing on the Red Sea. They haven't been as successful in targeting military vessels,, but they've succeeded in basically blocking off most shipping. It's a dangerous new world for conventional vessels.
The Houthis' target isn't military ships, but commercial ones, so as to cause financial damage to any country supporting Israel. If the Houthis were to actually go after military ships, I doubt the US and UK response would have been as weak as it is

@@ca_kay airships are likely bigger sitting ducks, especially since weather effects them more than water ships. aka they have to land periodically. also they would have extreeme energy requirements that would place a choke point at their refueling stations to an even greater degree than water ships.

Naval drone warfare won't make large ships obsolete, materiel in warfare has been dictated by their role. This just necessitates large surface vessels to be accompanied by large groups of destroyer vessels with the capability to handle target saturated environments which were so named for their capability to sink torpedo boats swarms.
That sounds copium like adding one more lane will fix the traffic or adding one extra gun will make battleships useful
Yea im not sure ur right here dude. The amount spent on these suicide drones in comparison is miniscule. Until theres an anti drone system thats near perfect no country can flex naval muscle in any useful way. Look at the trouble a few grubby mountain men with rockets are causing atm . Big naval power may be in its last legs. Who wants billions worth at the bottom of the sea caused by a radio controlled boat with a bimb on board
@@meteorknight999 Human warriors have been "obsolete" since the sword and bow. You can easily destroy a person that it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades to produce with a cheap bullet. The problem is that you need a human warrior to take and hold territory so we still field warriors despite how commonly they are destroyed.
If you want to deny enemy ships from an area away from your coast you'll need a ship on station to keep eyes and act as a drone/missile platform. That ship being vulnerable to attack is immaterial because you can't do it cheaper some other way. Big Guns were less effective than planes, so the battleship was replaced by aircraft carriers. A carrier could do everything the battleship did and more. But can a kamikaze drone do what a destroyer does? Or will we just have to accept that some ships will be sunk so they'll have to build more, smaller ships for redundancy?
@@Aesoporificif small RC boat can do on what destroyer supposed to do (sinking a ship), so what the purpose of spending 2000x more resource to produce it?
@@ebehdzikraa3855 Ah, but is that really the job of a destroyer? Destroyers usually scout for enemy ships. They screen larger ships, defending them from attack. They often are used in diplomacy to physically visit other countries.
A RC boat might do the same job as a naval missile or a gun on a destroyer, but it doesn't do all the jobs of a destroyer.
Not to be picky, but you called the Moskova a "Battlecruise" when she was in fact a "Guided Missle Cruiser". Battlecruisers are capital ships with 25,000+ tons of displacement on the low end. Moskova was much smaller in the 9,500 ton range.

The only russian aircraft carrier was built by Ukrainians and was stolen by rusians. Unfortunately for the Russians, at that time the ship was unfinished. The russians never managed to make something useful out of it. But this ship still helps the motherland (Ukraine) to destroy russian planes and large floating docks.
Original Title: How Ukraine Checkmated Russian Navy
Cant believe this channel is mad after ppl roasted him on making tldr "Russia is gonna collapse" then "Russia is too strong" lol. The owner is petty
Noticing patterns is a marker of high intelligence, congrats!
That was much more appropriate as a title.
32 county checkmate Russia not Ukraine's

“You think you’re so great because you have boats.”

Shore bombardment capabilities are essential for amphibious landings and troop support. Having an airfield wherever you want in the world is also pretty important. I doubt this is any kind of paradigm shift.
Imagine losing your star navy to a weaponized robotics club.
Imagine losing 2 towers, 3000ppl, 4 planes to a group of 19 Arabs in slippers? Imagine this group caused biggest shift from democracy to tyranny in the history. You can continue this ridiculous list..
Well they didn't use your brain
Love your videos!
Is there something you do with your mic to get the sound you have? Sounds distorted somehow. IDK if it's just me. It's almost like AM or FM radio, like there's some interference. IDK.
thank you
Love how Russia tried to deny their ships were being sunk at first. "Naw that's just scheduled maintenance" 😂😂😂
"Only our underwater welders are available at the moment so we had to accommodate"
It's like that in every war, were you born yesterday lol? Just like US tried to suppress the info on 6 abrams tanks destroyed so far, first one 3 days after entering the fight. It's called propaganda FYI
The Russians are just inspecting some under water pipes or cables or something🤷♀️
Scheduled maintanance... Underwater.
@@Laxton07 🤣🤣🤣
Saying that "Battleships became obsolete" is like saying that the tank has become obsolete after the introduction of the AT-missile. It will certainly pose a significant threat, but with advances in Armor and electronic warfare they may still have their uses in war.
The Russian navy fell victim to one of the classic blunders: they got involved in a land war in Asia.
Your intellect is dizzying.
Wow
Inconceivable!!
they have experience since middle ages tho, getting clapped by Golden Horde
@@kacangajaib1563 they were divided also the first invasion force was defeated
this explains so much of the current situation in the region!
About to start the video but was goikg to say "maybe yeet a bunch of large rocks with trebuchet and call it a day?" 😅
Perhaps future large naval assets will be using interlinked "drone swarms" for both early warning and defence against missiles and enemy drones.
I hate war but find drones really fascinating and game changing.
Ukrainians also hate war. But want to live. We have no choice.
@@OlesMenzer You really don't. Zelensky don't let men between 18 and 60 leave the country. It's the biggest open prison in the world.
@@OlesMenzer That draft treaty Jens Stoltenberg, head of NATO, said Russia offered before the war had Ukraine joining the EU, not joining NATO, keeping all its territory, and making peace in the eastern part of the country where 10,000 Ukrainians were killed. That sounds like it would have worked out pretty well.
@@paul.1337 1) russia attacked Moldova, Georgia and Ichkeria in 90th (and Georgia again in 2008) 2) russia was tried to attac Ukraine in 90th 3) russia was tried to attac Ukraine in 2003 (Tuzla) 4) russia attacs Ukraine in 2014 (Ukraine was neutral country). russia = war. And they was planning the full scale invasion for decades
@@sleepyjoe7843found a Russian bot lol or should I say
Nice video!
I believe conventional ships will still have a place however, a separate branch of naval vessels that can counter or destroy the kamikaze drone boats will be built.
Keep up the quality/informational content
3:20 And that epic journey was one very "special military operation" indeed. 😅
Is your mic peaking. Sounds like someone bumped the gain dial.
I don't think he's using compression or a hard limiter on the audio. Thus.... Volume spikes.
With news coverage this comprehensive why would anyone watch CNN, BBC, or MSNBC.This is one of my favorite youtube channels.
Surface warships will never be obsolete but I can definatley see what would once have been a single large ship being sent out as a part of a task force protected by anti-drone vessels that will likely be developed from here on out.
Fun fact - corvette Kotov was precisely this (literally anti unmanned vessel was one of its roles by design). Though it was extremely poor designed and was criticized A LOT. As it has turned out - rightfully so.
@Blackwing2345635 yeah. Given the dustance the drone boats can travel aswell I wouldn't be surprised if Frigates or Destroyers are given ati drone technology. Frigates would be a good platform to launch from since their so small. Pretty inexpensive comparatively. Also their a bit more maneuverable too.
"It's a large and well protected natural harbor"
Ukraine: "Hold my beer"
🎉😂
😂🎉
Russian ships are destroyed by British special forces using British drones and missiles, relying on American intelligence and satellite communications. There is nothing Ukrainian in all this, and Russia understands this very well. Fortunately, Ukraine is not on an island and a war with Russia at sea has no prospects.
protected doesn't mean from warships or munitions, it means from weather
It’s talking about wind and waves 💀
I do wonder what defenses we will develop against these drones. The role of carrier battlegroups is still one of the most important.
Sea Denial vs Sea Control, a command decision that has been debated for a long time.
Outstanding analysis. I had no idea about the proximity of the Sevastopol lease and the Crimean annexation, or the export volume now vs pre-invasion. Excellent video, thank you.
there is smth wrong with the mic. still an interesting video, but its hard to listen to with the audio quality...
The fact that when speaking about Snake Island "Russian warship go fuck yourself" wasn't mentioned is unacceptable.
You know the Ghost of Kiev and 40 Beheaded Babies were war propaganda, too, right? The 13 border guards, and a bunch of other random people stationed on Snake Island, surrendered, without a fight, to the Russians. "Guy talked tough on the radio, once. Immediately (wisely) surrendered." Super inspiring.
@@paul.1337 sounds like you presenting a myth. Because some things reported by some media turned out to be invented, does not mean everything is.
@@paul.1337 never seen beheaded babies - maybe reverse war propaganda from the Kremlin to satisfy their people? 2nd - Ukrainians seem to be made of some tough stuff much like the Finns - So my guess is, they did say what we heard them say, Russia however seems to be unable to grasp such an answer without harsh retaliation - its like they can't take it when people talk back to them in appropriate fashion - Putine surely has influenced the lot in that regard (i spelled it right, for once i'm just using the French to explain better =)
@@Bethos1247-Arne You could stop blindly believing people who are at best wrong all the time. A broken clock is right twice a day.
@@paul.1337 you could stop to believe every fringe media. While the report of the deatih with the russian warship arrival was inaccurate, the "russian warship go fuck yourself" sentence seems to be real.
I know how, I've been watching it happen, but I LOL when I heard the title of this!😂😂🎉
Losing a naval conflict when the orherside only has rc toys from the toy store 😂
russia: We finish the grain deal! Consider all our ships to be a danger for you!
Ukraine: Sure. Do you want to see my drones?
When you keep reading the same comment over and over but they change a few words...
@@RedFail1-1 also originally it was official statements and press exchange like:
- From now on we consider every Ukrainian ship as military target (official statement)
- Ok, we too consider every Russian ship as a military target then (official statement)
- Ha-ha, that's funny (RU politicians and press)
(reply in rockets and drones instead of empty threats)
Very far from "consider all our ships to be a danger", it was "WE consider all YOUR ships a danger" (like they may be transporting personnel, weapons, supplies, etc.)
@@Blackwing2345635 Checked the news in the past 3 days? Russia is able to strike anywhere they want in Ukraine with or without a navy. The timing of these "Russia is doomed" videos is so impeccable it's like the author works at the Kremlin and loves irony.
How about autonomous AI drone torpedoes? How difficult would it be to program them to recognize enemy ships from underwater and attack any enemy ships in a certain area?
At first I thought that there is a mistake at 23:10 and the bridge was blown by truck loaded with explosives, not by sea drones. Looked it up. It turned out, the bridge was blown two times.
