Mad Max: Beyond Sovietdome
Never underestimate the Ukrainian Navy
One of these days they might even get a ship, not that they’ve needed one yet though. Lol
@@Hoaxer51 Ships and sailors are just a liability for the Ukrainian navy
NASA did say it's cheaper to send robots and drone out.
Maybe this is the Ukrainian SPACE FORCE.
They've certainly launched enough russians and turrents there!
This just shows how incredibly innovative Ukraine is.
@@Hoaxer51
You should check your facts.
Almost half of all the soviet fleet were built in Ukraine.
Ukraine showing ingenuity as always
I have to admit that they've been very creative recently. At this rate, we'll probably see something like X wings over Moscow in a few months...
Very interesting development from Ukraine. Its a shock weapon, and not a bad idea!
Accuracy and splash is slim to zero chance
@@dertythegrower I suspect stability will be thought of. It is still just a shock attack if used on land.
Yeah but up close it should be devastating...let' s say you get close to a ship. And like the man said you can use decoy sea drones ahead of these.
@@forestdweller5581
given that a proportion of drones get scuppered on the way in, it does give a chance to lob a few in before continuing to close on the target. Create confusion to help cover the attack
I assume it's pre-sighted from a specific gps position in the water. With a barrage, it could be cheap and effective.
Using the Grad lets them run a proof of concept before using Brimstone.
Ivan "I must be really drunk because it looks like there's a GRAD floating on the river"
5 minutes later 🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆
Vodka!
I could hear the grad rocket shrill seeing those emojis
Would Ivan ever think to himself, “I must be drunk?”
Russian Vodka induced invisibility
I am NOT drunk enough!
0:28 the actual sound of the rockets firing at once.
Sucho is so thorough in this reports he even replicated that sound because video was muted. Such dedication !
😂😂
was looking if anyone noticed lol
I knew what this was before i clicked on it. Got me gigglin at my desk bruh
@@tonyc.4392 Me too I already replayed it a few times before scrolling through the comments haha I thought my player was glitching.
Ive never realized that the sound of Grad launching is "bla la la la la" :D.
It's an old Soviet weapon.
Blah-be-blah-blah describes the Krasniflot pretty accurately.
I like that the Captain and Helmsman are safe, miles away, maybe having pizza and beer or a cupa...
Maybe a kitkat or a twin too.
И они не говорят по украински.
Love the fact that he Ukrainians are making weapon memes into real things.
Superbonker 9000 has entered the chat.
Zero accuracy and so thin you would need a direct hit. More like a scare tactic to push back troops
Whether they are accurate or not the threat of these to any area in range of their sea operations is massive. Cannot see the Russians taking a risk on their accuracy. It’s a bit like suppressing fire in close combat, it has an effect on the enemy even if it’s not hitting anyone.
I am amazed by the constant innovations!
It means that Ukraine can fire the grad outside a port. As there will be many targets inside the port, inaccuracy may score a few direct hits of different boats or buildings
shooting from a short distance of about 5-6 kilometers has a low deflection coefficient
oil/gas terminals hang out around water
If the rockets would be fired one by one, the boat would rock around messing up the rocket trajectory. Clever Ukrainians!
it's allready rocking before the first one is launched anyway ! the sea is not a flat surface
@@nitraM321 They all get fired in one salvo so you only get on jolt.
@@ButchE30M3S14 yes i understand that, but the distance of the shot can vary a lot simply because the boat is going up and down waves, and the orientation of the boat can't be very precise either, being pushed around by the sea. i suppose these types of launchers are usually mounted on stabilizers, and, on much larger heavier boats, that is not the case here, this can work on a lake, not on the black sea, the only use i see is to target closely helicopters, aiming each tube at slightly varying angles, you might hit something, but i don't think you can use this to hit ground targets
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Like a shark with a frickin' laser beam on its head!
Laser beam… hmmm 🤔
Maybe one day we see it on a video.
It is getting crowded in the black sea...
perhaps they should demand a ransom to stop using them of ….
ONE MILLION DOLLARS !!
@@Zeiler91, It seems like the Black Sea is getting smaller and smaller! Lol
Welcome to the Riverine Technical.
I think they are developing the Sea Babies to hit land targets due to the scarcity of ships to use them against. How did that happen? 🙂
The Russian submarine fleet continues to grow.
I would say a key benefit would be that they can be reused!
Naval gunfire generally in the WW2 era worked in heavy seas not by gyro-stabilization stabilizing but by firing the guns when they were correctly aligned to a reference gyro as the ship pitched anhd rolled. A firing circuit took into account all of the delays involved. This is how battleships Bismark, Hood, HMS Prince of Wales etc worked. Stabilization, at least in those days, was too difficult to make accurate enough. In fact many ships didn't even have a gyro but a sailor who tracked the horizon.
-These naval drones will have a chip with pendulating or vibrating beam gyros and tilt meters. The rockets will be fired at the right instant.
Cell phone type of movement sensor (accelerometer) might be good enough to provide a reference.
Interesting, thanks!
US Iowa-class battleships had effective gyro stabilization of guns in 1943. Your comment is misleading.
@@nodularification All the major combatants had gyro stabilization and used it to varying degrees. On its own gyro stabilization was not enough to cope with the dynamic loads involved and still required a timing circuit to fire at the correct angle. The same applies to tank stabilization.
They should call it the Sea Bastard. Thanks for the excellent content as usual.
Ingenuity at it's best , thanks Sucho,👍👍👍
A cool idea is for the sea baby to carry drone(s). Making it an aircraft carrier ;) - this would give the Sea Baby the ability to do surveillance, and launch drone strikes.
Ruzzia: Stop! You are not suppposed to do that!
Suchomimus is Top 💪👍🙏🤘
Thank you for another excellent video!
These are brilliant for harassing Kinborne Spit russian forces. They can probably launch day or night. I think it is a foggy area as well.
Where I live we have a saying; It's not stupid if it works
Mount Penguins on the drones! its an older Anti ship missile with decent range. In US it was called the AGM-119
Good idea!
3m long 400kg may be a little too large for current drones.
As a penguin, I protest this suggestion.
Interesting development.
BADASS!!!!!!!!!
It's still better than a broadside from, Captain Pugwash.
Water is also good for absorbing recoil, so it won't flip the drone
Wooo naval barrage
Glory to Ukraine! Слава Україні!
💙 Heroyam Slava 💛 🇺🇦 ✌ ❤🇬🇧
Next step: Stabilize the Launcher and add GPS+INS guidance
In the US we would call that Guided MLRS, not a simple addition.
Use a multihull ... catamaran or trimaran to flatten out the ride, some.
Would probably be too heavy for the platform
@@HRM.H ...unless you make another platform. These drones have already morshed a couple of generations. The first ones were built on jet ski. Nothing is static. There are a whole lot of ways of building new platforms. How about ganging two hulls together abeam. You get a vessel that can carry more and even have the manoeverability of a twin screw ... oh, and double the explosive payload.
@@abrahamdozer6273 armchair general ovah here.. 😂
No more waiting your turn at the boat launch
You are probably right about the "rocking" part. typically on a land vehicle, each launch would rock the firing truck on its springs, but because the springs are absorbing energy, the rocking would subside over 1-2 seconds. There is probably some sensor on the vehicle that senses that motion and waits for the stabilization before launching the next rocket.
On a boat you cannot do that, because the boat would not return to the same exact launch range.
So I am guessing there are sensors that sense the current angles, and at some point, when the rockets are pointing correctly, all will be fired at once.
If you were to wait on a boat until everything aligns again, you might need to wait for a few minutes between every launch
Yes only a short time before guided missiles are used.
Regarding CEP, or Circular Error Probability: If the CEP is 100m for a given weapon system at a given range, it means that out of 100 projectiles/missiles fired, 50 of them land within a circle of 100m diameter. However, this _does not mean_ that the other half lands within a circle twice the size.
This depends on how many ourliers a system exhibits. If out of those 100 there are, say, 10 that are wildly of the mark, you can have 50 within a 100m circle but all 100 impacts cover a much much larger circle.
U.S. rocket-firing landing ship, WWII: USS LSM(R)-190 was a US Navy LSM(R)-188-class Landing Ship Medium (Rocket). She was built at Charleston Navy Yard, Charleston, South Carolina and was commissioned on 21 November 1944.
They were used with good effect in the Pacific to soften up beach defenses just before amphibious invasions.
Was it the submarine USS Barb used rockets to bombard Hokkaido while on patrol?
SO FREAKING WOT ... the video is about a Ukrainian Sea Baby drone boat .. Why does every video have to have some yank spouting irrelevant shit such as America had this , America had that ..blah blah .... They didn't have Sea Baby drones in ww2.. and that is the point of this video ..
@@eriks.9730 'During her twelve war patrols, Barb is officially credited with sinking 17 enemy vessels totaling 96,628 tons, including the Japanese aircraft carrier Un'yō. In recognition of one outstanding patrol, Barb received the Presidential Unit Citation. On her twelfth and final patrol of the war, she landed a party of carefully selected crew members who blew up a train, the only ground combat operation in the Japanese (four main) home islands.'
Bit of a wide spread to the ordinance. Looking forward to v2.0 of this.
70mm Hydra rocket pod would have slightly better accuracy but it could be restricted in target areas by whoever supplied the rockets.
Thank you so much for your support and donations.
Thank you all for watching the video and your likes and comments.
Every donation is a saved life of a soldier whose family is waiting at home.
Loitering Marine drone can fire surface to air manpad rockets. These can be a part of offensive ops on the Dinipro at Kherson.
MANPADS need to be locked onto a heatsource of the target before launch. The missile is powered by a power source and a Nitrogen canister to cool the seeker head. This requires the operator to visually track the target. The whole sequence requires a few tens of seconds and must be completed with 60 seconds because the power and gas supply are limited.
ConGRADulations guys.
sea babies can be stable just to shoot using retractable floaters on both sides... they can deploy[floats], aim, shoot, retract[floats], and go...
Or make the entire sea baby a full time trimaran. Could put extra fuel tanks in the side floats in that case and less mechanically complicated than a remote fold down type.
Next thing you know, these sea drones are fitted with magnetic anomaly sensors and torpedo to hunt the Black Sea Fleet submarines.
Or even just a low end sonar and anti submarine mortar.
Like going fishing with dynamite
A.I. submarine patrols constantly rotated out.
Thank you good sir
I would love to see a broadside against a ship! At the ~5° elevation shown, that might be about 200 meters away.
As always great presentation. Those Ukrainians are very resourceful bar stewards!
Thank you for the update.
Thomas Cochrane approves of this message…..
The missile equipped Sea Baby drones show how resourceful the Ukrainians are with what they’ve got. I can imagine that as part of a harbor or ship attack they deploy two or three of these with the standard attack drones to suppress any fire coming from a ship’s guns, thus improving chances of a successful sinking. It will be interesting to see how these things perform in the near future.
These could be bait to bring in the choppers to shoot at them and then get hit in turn by a different boat mounted with anti air
Thanks Sucho...
This could also be used against harbours, or the Kerch bridge. Basically any target above a certain size. And the elevated suspension spans of the bridge are damned large. May be worth a try, at least with a group of sea baby drones.
Slick
Thank you, Suchomimus, I hope, we will see more soon
🇺🇦 Перемоги і миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
And they can even get the Sea Baby back!
I would imagine these are as accurate as trying to hit a treble-twenty with a Müller rice pudding.
How about using Brimstones instead, they are semi autonomous and can select multiple targets….. or how about a couple of himars……. Preprogramme for some critical infrastructure on an airbase….. say the fuel storage, incoming electrical supply, control tower, maintenance crew facilities, pilot ready room…..
So many innovations in this war by Ukraine.
if it fired intermittently the drone would absolutely start spinning
It is amazing how war can accelerate the evolution of weapons. It is entirely logical that aquatic drones would eventually gain the ability to fire on targets from a distance.
What we see here is a work in progress rather than the final iteration. Further development will occur over time.
Came for the information, stayed for the bluhbluhblrhgb!!
Cheers!
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦. ✌🏼
Slava Ukraini !!!
Also, with all.being fired at once they will all.land in the same grid square, roughly(that spread is huge..). Versus one at a time the rockets would land in a rough line.
Thank you for posting this update
💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The wide spread is intentional. It is so the rockets won't interfere with or even hit each other in flight when fired simultaneously. Rockets with active control could be programmed to spread out, then fly parallel to each other at a close, but safe distance.
Thank You, Sucho
Thank you!
I feel very strongly that Admiral Fluckey would be proud
0:26 " _I suspect this is so the rockets can be launched...... blubalubalubalubalella_ " 🤪🤭🤣
Guided rockets like Brimstone or GLMRS is the way forward! Can you imagine where long range guided rockets could hit if Seababy traveled up rivers and coastline in patrols every night? Holy Gamole, Batman!!!
Grad size shotgun... ingenuity at it's finest😎
If you got a boat a river is a road.
There are countless targets for such a drone, given the long coastlines of Crimea and the major rivers in Ukraine, and the Sebastopol and Black Sea ports and even the Russian defensive positions for the Kerch bridge (such as SAM sites, barracks, etc,_ could be within range of these, despite their inaccuracy.. One should not discount the positive effect of harassment weapons. They can disrupt normal operations, require counter measures such as more patrol boats, cause displacement of some resources and people, and diminish morale of the targeted troops.
There is no way this is being used as a water borne grad artillery system. They're going to fire at relatively point blank into shore targets, such as ports, fuel containers and harbor buildings, maybe 1KM or so in range. Its a low cost way to deliver 18 - 24 rockets with enough accuracy to hit large targets and scoot away quickly. Even if many of the attacks miss, it forces the fascists to deploy ships back into range of Storm Shadow, ATACAMS and anti-ship drones. I doubt Ukraine would use these on targets too far inland, as their inaccuracy would lead to high civilian casualties.
Yes..I thought that as well..could be very effective after sneaking to a coast or into a harbour...
Brimstone might be more effective
i thought brimestone has to be laser guided?
No shit, really?
It has fire and forget, laser guidance was added later
@@rklkify The original version of Brimstone used a mmw-radar to search for targets in all weathers. After a few years they turned that into duel-mode Brimstone that kept the mmw-radar and added a semi-active laser-homing capability as well.
Well if you've thought of it we can be sure Ukraine is probably already working on it. Just think of of all those Russian targets to the east of the Black Sea.
SeaBaby with a TOW missile? Hell yeah!
They fire at the same time to help accuracy. The computer on the boat determines the firing event
💙 💛🦝💙💛🦝💙💛🦝💙💛🦝💙💛
слава Україні! Героям слава! Дякую!
reminds me of the improvised rocket launchers the insurgents used against us in Iraq.
The US Navy used mortars fired from landing craft, small craft usually used to land troupes, with good accuracy.
👍🇬🇧🇺🇦
With each passing day we're headed closer to Star Wars prequel territory. Drones & robots duking it out.
So since Ukraine now has missile destroyers I think we can stop calling it a country without a navy.
Sea Baby with ,, Galliope " device ; smart idea !
💛🔱💙 Slava Ukraina! Heroyam Slava! ❤️☠️🖤
The RC Navy.
At first I was skeptical, but using them just as a launch platform is kinda smart
Tks
Cda
HIMARs on a dinghy! 🤣
Turtle tanks and rocket launcher drone boats **max mad intensifies**
Go tell it to the Marines.
they need to do HIMAR next.
Friends of Ukraine and Ukraine make new AI for all type of drones :)
