Footage recorded during several failed surface drone attacks against Russian vessels shows the significant amount of resources that have been deploiyed by the Russian Navy to protect their fleet from Ukrainian attacks in the region.

While these recorded attacks may not have been successful in actually impacting their intended targets, it does show that Russian forces need to keep considerable resources deployed in the region to protect their ships. This deployment of additional resources is not cheap, and the cost of those resources far outweighs the cost of the surface drones, so it's likely that we'll continue to see attacks like this in the future. Besides, as we've already seen from the previous few weeks, it only takes one or two of these getting through the Russian defenses to cause serious damage.
