Ukrainian Magura drones strike 18 Russian vessels in 18 months

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported the information.

“The Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea has de facto surrendered. Russia has already withdrawn all the most modern and necessary equipment from Sevastopol. It has paralyzed this fleet. Now it eats money from the Russian budget, although it cannot perform its functions,” said the commander of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Group 13 special unit.

He added that Ukrainian intelligence officers attacked large Russian ships with a “flock” of drones, inflicting five or more hits at once, causing critical damage.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine noted that the Ukrainian-made MAGURA V5 maritime strike drone is capable of covering a distance of more than 800 kilometers. Its speed is 80 km/h and the weight of the warhead is 250 kg.

• In June, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported that one of the new modifications of the Magura unmanned offshore platform was equipped with R-73 air-to-air missiles.
