The latest "Suchomimus" video on yt said these were destroyed with FPV drones via a marine drone. We have seen one of the magura type drones with an FPV bay in them, holding at least 4 drones. If this is the case, this is an amazing new weapon. Ukraine will be using these to hit smaller targets that would otherwise have to use longer range missiles, which are in short supply.

I wonder if the sea drone has additional munitions that the FPV drones could return to and reload from if they don't get destroyed after dropping their munitions. That'd halve their range though.

I think the reload mechanism would double the price.

Cheap and disposable is the name of the game.

Well, I don't think the drones are disposable unless they are going on suicide missions too far. If they have a grenade and drop it, they can just fly back and dock, even if they don't reload.

Yeah, maybe, but docking can be as simple as flying into a net, no precision necessary. And if you make it cheap, you can have twice as many, and worry less about equipment losses.
