What happened
The deployment of advanced domestic naval robotic systems and the subsequent development of the Russian Navy’s maritime echelon based on them will prevent enemy naval forces from participating in military conflicts against Russia, according to Admiral Nikolay…
Why it matters
"An advanced maritime echelon of the Navy can be formed within the strategic formation of the Russian Armed Forces, making it possible to reduce the capabilities of, or even eliminate, the participation of foreign navies in military operations," writes…
Common ground
Yevmenov notes that the current and future composition of naval robotic systems is potentially capable of conducting several strategic-level operations.

Claim 2: “unmanned maritime systems can perform monitoring the underwater (seabed) environment (including surveying their own undersea communication cables and pipelines, and destroying (neutralizing) enemy seabed infrastructure), search for and destroy enemy micro-submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles, conduct mine countermeasures, hydroacoustically jam enemy detection and data transmission systems, create false deployment routes for their own submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm that unmanned maritime systems are used for seabed mapping, monitoring critical infrastructure (cables/pipelines), and mine countermeasures. While the specific phrasing about 'false deployment routes' is not explicitly detailed in the snippets, the core capabilities of seabed warfare and infrastructure monitoring are corroborated across three different sources.
