Minefields give less choice over individual targets than remotely directed attack craft. Neutral shipping in the Black Sea makes unintended encounters a concern. Unannounced mining can create particular difficulties for ships passing through the area. Greater control over where and against what a drone is used is offered as one reason for preferring it in this setting.
