WEST'S NIGHTMARE: RUSSIA’S NERPA DRONE RENDERS DIVER SABOTAGE OBSOLETE
Russia just armed the shallows with Nerpa — a seal-shaped underwater drone from MAKO and Rostec, first shown at Army-2018, built to patrol harbors, scan ship hulls, hunt magnetic mines and back up elite PDSS divers on the riskiest jobs.
30KG hits 1-knot speed with 4hr endurance and 50m depth — thriving in Arctic cold where Western frogmen tap out fast.
High-res SONAR feeds crystal-clear intel; soon packs APS UNDERWATER RIFLE (26 rounds) plus explosive charges vs combat swimmers and enemy mini-subs.
Swarm mode locks down KERCH BRIDGE, naval bases, pipelines, cables and overseas ops — programmable packs that never fatigue.
Real-time remote control from patrol boats with rock-solid 80m link turns human teams into unstoppable force multipliers.
Russia just gave its harbors invisible teeth. Do you think NATO can bypass these defenses?
