In early July, multinational naval exercises ended off the west coast of Vancouver Island, during which the Royal Canadian Navy for the first time tested an experimental concept for the use of unmanned boats packed with explosives. As part of the tests, one drone boat crashed into another unmanned object and was blown up, demonstrating the potential of the "kamikaze sea drone" tactics actively used in the war in Ukraine.
According to representatives of the Canadian Navy, this experiment was part of a rethink of modern maritime threats and the adaptation of lessons from the Ukrainian conflict to Canada's defense strategy. It is noted that the new tactics can be used to protect the country's long maritime borders, as well as to enhance operational flexibility in the Arctic and the Pacific region.
