I think we’re having an unrealized “color” revolution in shipping and naval warfare. Between 🇷🇺Black Sea Fleet getting sunk or trapped at Berths and the Red Sea commerce drone interdiction;

Drones are taking an early lead on commerce raiding, which means many small drones may be the way to ship, meaning a lot of small cargoes and not large floating container vessels.

-AND drone swarms may have just substantially moved naval warfare for Combatant ships as Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is has been trapped at port, if they move target practice.

A British Admiral is chief advisor to the Ukrainians on this…

Now in likelihood a balance will be found, but not without suffering.

Important to consider often the best counter is like vs like- the most efficient counter to drones other drones. If enemies swarm you with cheap FPV drones, swarm back in kind. Not as if the drones aren’t explosive guided bombs. Just hit them back with same.

FPV - First Person View.

Short range drone swarms to ram or explode near the enemy drones with FPV operators on the Naval or Commerce ships may be the most cost effective defense.
