The sea drone is equipped with autonomous control and can carry reconnaissance and combat payloads, designed to perform surveillance in maritime zones to assist Ukrainian forces. This project was undertaken by Latvian experts specifically for military assistance to Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia. The delivery was facilitated under the coordination of Latvian defense and international assistance bodies. This contribution strengthens Ukraine's military capabilities in naval and littoral zones.",
