It is noted that the devices, which were hidden on the ocean floor, sent back information that could “create a battlefield in advance.” Among them are underwater “beacons” that can guide foreign submarines.

Some act as “secret agents,” drifting and floating with the waves, monitoring the situation in our territorial waters in real time. Some function as underwater “lighthouses,” pointing the way for foreign submarines that have violated our waters,
