The Latest Fad From Europe Arrives

I think we should ease off on the enthusiastic embrace of unmanned surface drones.


Oh? 

A number of NATO countries are pursuing new naval concepts based on sea drones programmed to keep adversaries out of allied waters, a nod to Ukraine’s pursuits with such weapons against Russian ships. 

The alliance nations belong to the so-called Joint Capability Group for Maritime Unmanned Systems, or JCGMUS. The group, created following the 2018 NATO summit in Brussels, comprises more than a dozen nations considered full members, partners or observers.

I see we are fully into Torpedo Boat Craze 2.0.  

UPDATE: The INDOPACOM commander isn't screeching like a fanboy.
