Ukraine war shows Royal Navy how to strike unprepared enemy with maritime technology, expert says

A military expert says the war in Ukraine has shown the Royal Navy the importance of using potent maritime technology in beating a formidable enemy.

In the two years since the Russian invasion, Ukraine has used every weapon at its disposal to hit the Russian Navy – from cruise missile strikes on Russia’s naval headquarters at Sevastopol to drone attacks on Russian warships.

It has been a David and Goliath battle, but Ukraine’s use of asymmetric warfare has paid off.

  1. The reach of missiles and drones is making anything afloat look incredibly vulnerable. Ships are not safe at sea and they are sitting ducks in port. Navy"s F35s should be dispersed around dozens of land based sites for survivability and carriers sold off or used for humanitarian relief. The only thing the navy is projecting at the moment is farse.

  2. Three key takeaways the British navy have learnt so far:

    Chicken Korma, Kebab meat and Margarita pizza are quite tasty and the galley chefs should put them on the menu more often.

  3. Had this out with some American navy geek.
    The day you think your aircraft carrier fleet, is the world’s ruler, you just lost your life. If the enemy fires 20 missiles at you at same time, 1 will ruin your day. At $500 to $500,000 each hmm too much.
    But guess what!!! $100 drones made by the 1000’s will really ruin your life.

  5. I have to believe that ALL modern fighting forces are getting their eyes opened by the Ukraine conflict. When a few hundred million dollar ship can be sunk by a radio controlled motorboat, every navy is in trouble.

  7. Invest in better CIWS systems. Out with the 20mm in with 35mm and above. Actually install the weapon packages on the ships so no more carriers goung to sea with juat small arms or destroyers with gyms where there TLAMs should be and build more ships..self explanatory

  8. Three key takeaways for the Royal Navy, – aircraft carriers that don't work, destroyers with no engines, and advertising for a submarine fleet commander on LinkedIn. I'm surprised, they haven't died of embarrassment!

  9. royal navy?
    aircraft carriers: can't leave harbor
    type 45: no land attack weapons

    refurbished ships send to retriement because there is no crew
    strategic nuclear sub that won't fire a nuclear ballistic missile
    its not royal navy, it is a joke.

  10. Honestly, the Royal Navy’s performance of late has been downright embarrassing. The Royal Navy was once the pride of Britain. It ruled the waves, played key roles in multiple historical conflicts, and helped shape naval history. Now ship’s are suffering mechanical failures, there are old submarine rusting away in spots they’ve been sitting for decades, Britain has fallen behind a number of other navies in terms of tactics and ship construction, and is woefully unprepared in the event of conflict. Something must change. Britain needs to be able to take pride in its navy again, and it actually needs to be able to support its allies, as opposed to depending on them.

  11. RN base commanders shouldn't be sleeping well. RAF base commanders? They shouldn't be sleeping at all. Somebody opens a lorry's back door and a five dozen FPV drones swarm over the "security" fence and creates fireballs of 20% of the RAF's available aircraft.

  12. Ships need to ditch some of their missile capacity (or add to it) and trade it for drone capacity. They should be able to launch a swarm of drones for littoral combat and reconnaissance. So you're not completely relying on radar. Imagine a drone that can hover and loiter then dive underwater and become a torpedo or depth charge and wreck a sub.

  13. Every ship now needs multiple CIWS emplacements with kinetic and energy based weapons as a bare minimum. How you defeat small unmanned underwater threats like mini sub-like drones is another challenge altogether.
