- tyxodiwktis 6y agoNot really - you need thousands of pounds of ordinance to sink a destroyer and no small UAV is carrying that.
- mikewarot 6y agoThe UAV could be the first part of a coordinated attack... it could do something to foul the sensors on the ship, for example.
- hcurtiss 6y agoDid you see some representation of size?
- NaturalPhallacy 6y agoBased on the flight times and 100 mile flights ~100 miles off the coast and the investigated boats in the area...they couldn't be small. At least not with current consumer battery technology. Maybe if they were launched by a sub? There's a youtuber that has a multi-hour autonomous drone, but it's solar powered and this was at night.

That could almost had done what’s reported from land, and easily from a small boat 50 miles away from the ships (which is well over the horizon).
