As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate, the country's naval forces have unleashed a wave of maritime drones against Ukrainian ports and shipping vessels. In response, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on several Russian and Belarusian companies, prompting vessel owners to take drastic measures to protect their ships. Defences on vessels under sanctions are being upgraded with advanced systems designed to detect and counter the swarms of drones, which have proven to be a game-changer in the conflict. With the stakes higher than ever, shipowners and naval authorities are racing against time to fortify their fleets against this new and unpredictable threat.
