Ukraine 'Kamikaze' Sea Drone Found Armed With 200kg of Explosives Off Greek Island

ukraine operates them from Tripoli, capital of Libya. Libya is in a civil war, the rebels are backed by the Russians with Russian "Africa Corps" fighting alongside them. So the Libyan government gleefully accepted an alliance with Ukraine. From there Ukraine operates sea drones to threaten Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Mediterranean, and operates flying drones to hammer Africa Corps and their rebel allies in Libya.

Russia has claimed UK military logistics is assisting them with there multiple small bases on tiny islands all over the world. While I would not take anything Russia said at face value and they like to underplay all Ukrainian achievements, it would explain how they got military hardware all over the world so fast (you can't ship this stuff in normal customs).

Operation "Add Some New Single-Use Subs To The Russian Armada".

Sudan is one of them. That war is a f****** quagmire. You Russians fighting Ukrainians, the arabs, the Africans ... Jahjaweed & Sudan army, other African countries .. Ethiopia & Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda v both the warring factions and or siding with one or the other. It's like a mini world war. In the sahel too. Pretty much where you those Russian mercenaries... Ukrainians are there causing havoc

If my memory is accurate- Ukrainian and Russian Special forces have been training indigenous forces and also directly engaging each other in Mali

Yep they hit one next to Malta and we are still hoping the floating wreck is someone elses problem

Russian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Chechen mafia with NATO weaponry and drones in a few years if not sooner. What could go wrong?

Dont forget a copy of the Sims 3

Detonators are not hard to obtain in many countries, because they're used in civilian construction projects. You can use the same detonator for TNT or C4 as for civilian dynamite. And there's thousands of small companies all over Europe with permits for obtaining detonators, so having some detonators leak out of that market into Ukrainian hands is almost a given. But civilian-use explosives tend to be less brisant and more bulky for their power than military explosives, and some of them are also more sensitive so they would be more likely to go off if hit by a bullet. TNT doesn't explode if you shoot at it with a rifle, but dynamite can. Since the typical defense against naval drones is to attempt to shoot it with small arms, you really want its payload to be insensitive to small arms fire so it has a greater chance of getting through to the target. My interpretation here, since whoever removed the military grade explosives had the knowledge to do so but left the detonators, is that it was done by someone who specifically needed a military grade high explosive but has no shortage of detonators. Possibly Ukrainian operators salvaging the one component they cannot easily get through customs or obtain illegally in Europe, from a failed drone that they had the GPS coordinates for but not the local vehicle or boat capacity for salvaging in its entirety. Those drones are pretty big, you aren't lifting one into the back of a van.
