Ukraine has used naval drones to damage and destroy ships of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Russia has started using small FPV drones to train its sailors how to locate and defeat the threat.
It's now having sailors operate these drones while rocking back and forth on swings to mimic waves.

Russia has consistently struggled to effectively protect its Black Sea Fleet from Ukraine's arsenal of exploding naval drones, which Kyiv has used throughout the war in attacks targeting Moscow's warships.
