Ukraine uses USV to land armed UGV in unmanned amphibious raid at Kinburn Spit

Report describes a fully unmanned amphibious raid combining a USV landing craft to deliver an armed Rys UGV ashore, with a UAV providing overwatch and recording the action. The novelty is the cross-domain unmanned 'sea-to-shore' assault concept (USV transport + UGV direct fire + UAV ISR) executed under wartime conditions, potentially enabling probing raids without risking personnel.
