At the International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul, the Ukrainian maritime drone MAGURA V5 was showcased.
According to the Industrial Portal, the MAGURA V5 is a multi-purpose unmanned surface vessel of a new generation developed in Ukraine.
It is capable of performing various operations, such as surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue missions, mine countermeasures, protection of naval fleets, and combat missions. The developers claim that the hydrodynamic hull and sleek V5 profile allow it to move covertly with excellent maneuverability.
