I base this on absolutely 0 military experience BUT
Could be a distraction vessel to draw fire
Could be to give Russia a chance to use countermeasures and evaluate their effectiveness + come up with next Gen drone to mitigate current countermeasures
Could be that it is impossible to get a good video from a drone bouncing around in the water and they wanted to make contact with areas that ensure sinking
Could be a test to see how much punishment the drones can take while maintaining combat effectiveness
Could be that it’s pure chaos and neither side has a great strategy aside from do/do no explode if possible
Either way, this footage is wild! Give em hell Ukraine!!
Apparently there is a 3 second lag too, so I bet it’s better to turn (left, right, left right) than going straight with that kind of lag if you don’t have a clear idea where you want to go.
Also the drone boats have different objectives, so if there us a filming-boat, it seems logic it’d turn a lot.
Wow if it’s really that high, then organizing an attack with 10 drones is extremely impressive!
I’d have hoped that the lag would be lower, because Starlink has a lower orbit than geosync satellites. My hunch would’ve been 100ms one way, for a complete round-trip delay of 0.5s at most.

I’d bet that after starlink was disabled once mid operation, they’d rather eat a donkey’s dick than rely on Musk’s ass again.
