⚡️Ukraine uses naval drones with anti-aircraft missiles

A video which shows a Ukrainian naval drone performing maneuvers to avoid a fire from a russian Ka-29 helicopter flying to intercept it was released by the Russian media.

An important case in this event is the appearance of a superstructure on board the drone that resembles the Soviet R-73 air-to-air missile.

The R-73 is a short-range missile and can indeed be launched from ground-based systems. The missile does not require radar or other systems for guidance, as it is equipped with their own infrared seeker.

This missile on board the drone can be distinguished from a similar but earlier R-60 by the specific shape of its tail fin.
