In Poland, the JW Formoza special forces unit is secretly testing American ultra-cheap naval drones from HavocAI, adapting tactics already used by Ukrainian forces such as the SBU and the GUR.
This is reported by Army Recognition.
Polesie special forces are simulating scenarios with night navigation, intelligence gathering, and simulated infiltration operations in the Baltic Sea. The training in the Gdynia region is designed to prepare the unit for a possible conflict with Russia in the maritime zone.
According to Defense Express, the startup HavocAI was founded only 18 months ago, but is already producing the Rampage Gen 1 and Gen 2 models. The cost of one drone is about $100,000, which is significantly cheaper than traditional solutions. The drones can carry up to 136 kg of payload, are equipped with solar panels for extended autonomy, and are controlled via Starlink satellite communication.
The company is also betting on the potential for mass deployment: a single operator can control dozens of Rampage drones in a single grid. This technology supports the concept of swarm attacks and expands the tactical capabilities of autonomous systems.
Poland, in turn, is actively developing its own unmanned capabilities: the Ministry of Defense announced the creation of a full-fledged “drone force” by the beginning of 2025, including for surveillance, support and attack on land, in the air and at sea.
As a reminder, Poland is creating a special security zone in the Baltic Sea to protect key energy infrastructure from potential attacks by the Russian “shadow fleet” . The restrictions will affect fishing, water activities and even diving – all for the sake of protecting the SwePol Link pipeline connecting Poland with Sweden.
As reported, the Polish parliament voted to withdraw the country from the Ottawa Convention, which bans the use and stockpiling of anti-personnel mines. This decision was supported by 413 deputies of the Sejm, 15 opposed, and three abstained.
