Swarming and shooting down aircraft: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence reveals characteristics of MAGURA unmanned boats

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has disclosed the characteristics of three versions of its main MAGURA unmanned boats, which destroy Russian ships and air targets in the Black Sea. These naval drones were shown at an official event attended by a journalist of the Oboronka project. Source: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Details: Three versions of all-weather boats were presented – MAGURA V5, MAGURA V6P and MAGURA V7. They are designed not only to destroy enemy ships and air targets, but also for reconnaissance, patrolling, ship protection, mine clearance, firefighting, rescue operations and cargo delivery. The MAGURA V5 is the main drone in DIU's arsenal. It is capable of swarming, automatic target tracking, multi-channel satellite communication, mounting a combat module with a machine gun and is equipped with thermal imaging cameras. It can carry up to 320 kg of explosives and work autonomously for up to 48 hours. It is the fastest boat in the family, capable of reaching speeds of up to 90km/h when fully loaded. MAGURA V7 alongside MAGURA V5 MAGURA V7 is a new combat version of the naval drone. It is equipped with an acoustic environmental monitoring system and can stay at sea for up to 7 days with a generator. Its distinctive feature is the integrated air defence system: AIM9/P-73 missiles or a machine gun module. If necessary, they can also be used as kamikaze drones. The V7 also has a much larger range of control than other MAGURA drones – 1,500 km. The MAGURA V6P is a non-combat modification of the drone. It is designed for reconnaissance, patrolling, rescue operations and cargo delivery. DIU recalled that over the years, thanks to MAGURA combat boats, the fighters of the Group 13 specialised unmanned systems vehicle unit have hit 17 targets. Among them are two helicopters, two fighter jets, six patrol boats and seven warships. A total of 15 of them were destroyed.
