Speaking of Ukraine's trump card in the Russian-Ukrainian war, many people may immediately think of the American Hippocampus multiple rocket launchers and Stinger anti-tank missiles. However, for now, we are focusing on a suicide drone called "Magur**5", developed by Ukraine itself. The drone was painted in a light gray color, and it has 5The length of 5 meters and 15 meters wide when it is 0At 5 meters, it weighs a ton. It can sail at a speed of 22 knots, 42 knots per hour, 450 knots, and is equipped with a 320-kilogram warhead that can destroy surface ships of up to 4000 tons. From the point of view of basic parameters, it has excellent maneuverability and excellent ability in naval warfare, and has extremely strong lethality, which is very suitable for naval warfare.
The V5 drone is equipped with an optoelectronic conversion tower, a television infrared visual light sensor, and a satellite communication antenna at the tail. This new type of "suicide" drone can receive search, location and operation instructions from satellites and drones in the sky, and can also photograph and upload the results of the battle to the Internet. However, the attack still sank hundreds of millions of dollars in Russian naval vessels, and so far, the navy has destroyed more than 10 giant ships.
This low-profile suicide drone has unleashed alarming power in the Russia-Ukraine war and has inflicted heavy losses on the Russian Navy. Russia is facing a constant series of suicidal unmanned ship attacks from Ukraine, and there is little good way to deal with it. Russia must transfer the Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol, Crimea, to Novorossiysk (Novorossiysk) and Abkhazia (Feodosia) in order to maintain combat effectiveness in the face of Ukrainian suicide drone attacks.
Ukrainian "suicide" drones are difficult to detect and stop, largely due to the fact that they often carry out attacks at night and take a "wolf-like" approach to attack, which allows them to strike ships in all directions from different directions. This has caused great difficulties for the anti-aircraft missiles, naval guns and naval guns of the Russian Navy. Looking forward to the Russia-Ukraine war, "suicide drones" will be one of the main means of maritime warfare in the future.
