MAGURA V5 (Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus V-type) is a Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned surface boat developed for use by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) capable of performing various tasks: surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, maritime security, and combat missions.[1]
Development
In November 2022, the Ukrainian government announced the development of a Ukrainian combat surface drone with a range of up to 800km.[2] The boat was first presented at the International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF), which took place from July 25 to 28, 2023, in Istanbul, Turkey.[3] On July 29, 2023, a CNN report confirmed that the MAGURA V5 kamikaze boat already exists not only as an exhibition model, but also as a system that is fully operational.[4]
Operational use
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.[5]
In early 2024 Ukrainian Intelligence Director Kyrylo Budanov indicated several MAGURA V5s were responsible for the sinking of the Russian Tarantul-III class missile corvette Ivanovets.[6]
On 14 February 2024, several MAGURA V5 drones were used to attack and sink the large landing ship Tsezar Kunikov near the coastal city of Alupka in Russian-occupied Crimea.[7] The sinking of the ship has been confirmed by Russian sources.[8][9]
On 5 March 2024, MAGURA V5 drones were used in an attack that led to the sinking of the patrol ship Sergey Kotov near the Kerch Strait.[10][11]
Tactical and technical characteristics
Some technical characteristics of the drone were published by the Ministry of Digital Transformation in November 2022:[2]
- 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
- Cruising speed: 41 km/h
- Maximum speed: 42 nm/h (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 center.
