a vital Russian supply route into Ukraine which Kyiv&#8217;s forces have already hit twice during the war &#8211; and which the Russians have managed to only partially repair.<\/p>\n<p>The footage shows the 20-foot long, \u00a3355,000 sea weapon being checked in the water at a secret location ahead of its deployment.<\/p>\n<p>It is a development by Ammo.Ukraine volunteers which boasts an invulnerability to Russian radio-electronic warfare systems, making it largely &#8216;invisible to the enemy&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75846641-12561353-image-a-17_1695740831726.jpg\" height=\"356\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Footage shows Ukraine &#8216;s new underwater kamikaze drone &#8216;Marichka&#8217;

drone which has been used against the bridge and other warships.<\/p>\n<p>Its makers say the Marichka drone &#8216;cannot be detected by radars, scanners and echo sounders&#8217; and has a range of some 620 miles &#8211;
