MAGURA V5 (Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus V-type)[note 1] is a Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed for use by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine[1] (HUR) capable of performing various tasks: surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, maritime security, and combat missions.[2]

Development

HUR signed contracts to design a new USV with private companies who had previously worked with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in designing USVs, however had their partnerships terminated due to disputes with the SBU over project specifications and budget. A new partnership with HUR was formed that started the project which eventually developed the MAGURA V5.[1]

In November 2022, the Ukrainian government announced the development of a Ukrainian combat surface drone with a range of up to 800 km.[3] The boat was first presented at the International Defence Industry Fair, which took place from 25 to 28 July 2023, in Istanbul, Turkey.[4] On 29 July 2023, a CNN report confirmed that the MAGURA V5 kamikaze boat existed not only as an exhibition model but also as an operational system.[5]

Unlike the Sea Baby used by the SBU, which carries a heavier explosive payload and is primarily used to strike stationary targets such as ships docked in port, the MAGURA V5 is designed for striking warships at sea due to its smaller size and better manoeuvrability.[1]

Operational use

Main Directorate of Intelligence footage of MAGURA V5 drones striking Russian corvette Ivanovets on 1 February 2024.

In November 2023, in one documented operational use of the drones, one Serna-class landing craft and one Akula-class landing craft docked at a Russian Navy base in Chornomorske, in western Crimea were destroyed.[6]

On 1 February 2024, several MAGURA V5 drones struck and sank the Tarantul-III class missile corvette Ivanovets in the Black Sea near Lake Donuzlav in Crimea.[7]

On 14 February 2024, several MAGURA V5 drones were used to attack and sink the large landing ship Tsezar Kunikov near Alupka in Russian-occupied Crimea.[8] The sinking of the ship has been confirmed by Russian sources.[9][10]

On 5 March 2024, MAGURA V5 drones were used in an attack that sank the patrol ship Sergey Kotov near the Kerch Strait.[11][12]

Tactical and technical characteristics

Some technical characteristics of the drone were published by the Ministry of Digital Transformation in November 2022:[3]

  • Length: 5.5 m
  • Gross weight: < 1000 kg
  • Operating range: up to 400 km
  • Range of operation: up to 800 km
  • Range: up to 60 hours
  • Payload: up to 200 kg, at least one R-73 air to air missile. [13]
  • Cruising speed: 41 km/h
  • Maximum speed: 42 kt (78 km/h)
  • Navigation methods: automatic GNSS, inertial, visual
  • Video transmission: up to three HD video streams
  • Cryptographic protection: 256-bit encryption
  • Cost of production: about 273,000 USD

It is reported that in addition to the drone itself, equipped with an autopilot system, video subsystems, including night vision, redundant communication modules and a combat unit, it includes a ground-based autonomous control station, a transportation and storage system and a data centre.
