Drones Я Us

Shark reconnaissance drone

The Shark is entirely a Ukrainian creation.  
It carries a day-light camera, a thermal imaging camera, a video camera and a radio transmitter in a gyro-stabilized camera pod that is fitted under the nose of the fuselage. - Defence Blog

Seems drones are all the rage these days.

REMUS 620 UUV(unmanned underwater vehicle)

The REMUS 620 UUV is is made by HII (Huntington Ingalls Industries), the largest military shipbuilding company in the United States. It's powered by batteries like a torpedo, but it has a range of 275 miles. Plus it has an electronic brain so supposedly it can find it's way home if it every gets lonely. Defence Blog talks about how it can be loaded up all kinds of gizmos, they don't say anything about a warhead, but they don't say that it can't.

P.S. When I saw HII in the Defence Blog post I thought it said HILL. That's what you get when you use them cheap fonts where you can't tell a lowercase L from an uppercase i.
