  1. Ukraine is making what amount to steerable torpedoes. Initially, they ran on the surface but they’ve got ever more semi-submersible. Something with only a small conning tower/snorkel above the water surface is on its way.

  2. The most effective weapon against sea drones and small boats is the machine gun. Add some radar/lidar targeting and sea surface drones won’t get close. The German Gepard AA gun (set to shoot downward) is a good model.

  3. China says it has an electromagnetic catapult. How well does it work? How reliable is it?

  4. Every single weapon ever made has counter-measures. Designers have to think ahead and adapt with combat experience.
