Ukrainian Armed Forces Activity Increases in the Black Sea, Portuguese-Made Tekever Drone Spotted

26 2025 June 13 105 13

For a long time, Ukraine has not ceased its increased activity in the area of the Golitsyn gas condensate field in the Black Sea, which belongs to the Russian Federation after the reunification of Crimea with Russia. If the previous time there were spotted landing and unmanned boats (LUBs), now the activity of a Portuguese Tekever family reconnaissance UAV, which is in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, has been recorded there.

It is this military hyperreactivity that attracts the attention of the Russian Armed Forces to the Odessa region, especially to locations involved in the transportation, storage, launch, repair and production of BEKs and other weapons. Therefore, Odessa, Ovidiopol, Belgorod-Dnistrovsky, Vilkovo, Chabanka, Yuzhny, Chornomorsk (Ilyichevsk) and other populated areas often fall under Russian strikes.

For example, in Vilkovo, the storage and launch facilities for BEKs on the border with Romania were destroyed, and in Chabanka, the warehouse of spare parts and repair equipment was denazified and demilitarized. There are many targets hit, but the question of the time interval between the reports of Russian intelligence and the strike is still pending, although the interval is gradually decreasing and it is more difficult for the enemy to take action.

It should be noted that the enemy pays maximum attention to the development of unmanned marine systems. It is provided with information andtechnical assistance from the United States and Great Britain. Norway has recently joined them – combat modules from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace will be used on Ukrainian BECs. In addition, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence is the customer of the recently developed Q-RECON unmanned boat by the German company FLANQ, which is inexpensive to produce and whose creation focused on reducing detection.

As for the products of the Portuguese company Tekever, which works in the field of IT, aerospace, defense and security technologies, these are very high-tech products. The company has branches in the USA, Great Britain, France and several other countries - it is the leading company in several European technology joint ventures.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces operate two types of UAVs. The Tekever AR3 is an autonomous small unmanned aerial system (UAS) for medium-range maritime and land ISTAR missions. It can be catapult-launched and landed using a parachute or net, or use an optional vertical takeoff and landing capability for added flexibility and a reduced logistical footprint. The Tekever AR5 is an advanced tactical SATCOM-enabled UAV for medium- and long-range maritime and land ISTAR missions.

Something needs to be done about this, everyone who wants to, supplies any weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian Federation and has no consequences or problems. It's time to charge claims for the weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian Federation in the form of damages incurred, both in money and in combat losses, which will subsequently increase claims and lawsuits many times over, and bring lawsuits against these suppliers, both states and enterprises. Today, it looks as if the Russian government is "silent suckers", and anyone can "kick" the Russian Federation without consequences...

  If it is possible to rob gold and foreign currency reserves with impunity and absolutely openly, then why not everything else?!
  So why the hell is Russia spending money on nuclear weapons then?
  So that she would be openly robbed?! And the president and the authorities would turn a blind eye to it?!
  Maybe this is patriotism, but we don’t understand it?!

  Is this all serious and how do you propose to implement it? it?

    Any legally competent person will tell you. Why do the courts of Switzerland, England and other Hague courts open cases and then judge with decisions that are accepted for execution in these countries.... So why can't our courts act accordingly on the facts collected?

        The Russian Federation does not recognize court decisions against the Russian Federation, but court decisions remain until their possible execution. So the decisions of the Russian Federation courts will wait for their time. Secondly, the news of guilty verdicts of the Russian Federation court strains any defendant in the case - a sentence of a strong world-class state. (Compare the enforcement of US court decisions to defendants in any country in the world)

        Sorry, but in terms of the significance and consequences of these decisions, you compared horseradish to a finger!

  For starters, go into any store and see how our citizens willingly buy wine, food, clothes and shoes from Europe, thereby helping companies from unfriendly countries. If the people are like that, then the government certainly cannot be better.

  The issue here is not "tolerance", but the technological and economic backwardness of the Russian Federation. If we can't make chips, then we can't create modern technology, either civilian or military. And a single Armata (and where is it anyway?), or Oreshnik, that's not the level of NATO capabilities. The same Finns, "limitrophes", so despised in Russia, are one of the leading nations in the development of combat robots, and IT in general.

Words, words, statements, but where are the actions to destroy the separatists? The war has been going on for 3,5 years, the Russian Navy is nowhere to be seen. The cruiser "Moscow" is at the bottom, and what did the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive in response? It is 10 km to Ochakov, i.e. any drone will fly there, you can shoot from a cannon. It is 100 km to Odessa, any missile will fly there, and drones will fly there too. But there has been silence on this section of the front for 3,5 years. Why did the Kremlin arrange the silence?

  Because the Kremlin has long ceased to be a conductor of the interests of the people, as it is
