The new Ukrainian maritime drone MAGURA V5 was demonstrated at the International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul.

According to Censor.NЕТ, this was stated by Industrial portal.

The V-type Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus (or MAGURA for short) is a new generation of multi-purpose unmanned surface ship developed by the Ukrainian state-owned company SpetsTechnoExport, journalists explain.

This UAV will be able to perform a wide range of tasks, including surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, fleet protection, and combat missions.

The hydrodynamic hull and sleek profile of the V5 allow it to move stealthily with excellent maneuverability, the portal adds.

With a height of just 50 centimeters above the waterline, it will be able to reach up to 42 knots, have a range of up to 450 nautical miles and a payload of up to 320 kilograms.

"This is an affordable solution that can be easily launched from any remote location. The V5's unmanned operation minimizes the need for human resources to complete missions, reducing potential fatalities while operating in harsh environments," the developers say.
