The problem with USVs is they’re relatively slow, if a ship is aware of their presence and is in a fighting state - it can get rid of a bunch of them. And it seems that navy helicopters are a decent counter, but overall it’s too early to tell if USVs are that good or was it the element of surprise.
I just imagine that almost all large military vehicles are sitting ducks to drones and such. Just look at Ukraine vs. Russia’s navy.

Not a great comparison when you consider Russia’s navy hasn’t improved much from the Cold War days. Their tech is old.
