The Russians have shown their own marine kamikaze drone, the Dandelion, which can hold 600 kg of explosives
The racist propaganda “media” showed the first kamikaze marine drone produced by the Russian industry, which is supposed to be used in the Black Sea combat zone.
The racists claim that this product of theirs has the index BBKN “Dandelion”, an acronym that stands for “fast-moving unmanned carrier boat”.
They also claim that this remote-controlled boat has a range of up to 200 kilometers, a maximum speed of up to 80 km/h, a payload of up to 600 kilograms, a warhead with TNT or other “special cargo.”
At the same time, the Russians also write that this “Dandelion” should be the first in a series of 10 similar marine drones that the Russian Defense Ministry has ordered from the Russian industrial company KMZ, which has two different production profiles at once – small boats for Russian law enforcement agencies and special equipment for the nuclear industry.
Prior to that, there were reports from Ukrainian intelligence services that the Russians were analyzing the wreckage of our kamikaze marine drones and trying to use them for their own developments. And if this is true, then we can see some signs of the impact of such “re-engineering” on the Oduvanchik BKN, at least in terms of appearance.
Because if we look again, for example, at remote-controlled boat GRK-700 “Vizyr”, which the same KMZ demonstrated at Army-2023, we will see differences in appearance and in the declared characteristics: the payload is up to 500 kg, the declared range can be up to 500 km (but subject to the use of an electric drive), the declared maximum speed is up to 43 knots.
