“Russian Black Sea Tarantul-class corvette Ivanovets has sunk after an attack with naval drones”

Kyiv Post reports:

“Ukraine used MAGURA V5 multi-purpose unmanned surface vessels (USV) to sink a Russian missile boat earlier this week, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR), has revealed.

Kyrylo Budanov told The War Zone that “six direct hits by naval drones were made to the hull of the ship,” adding: “As a result of the damage, the ship rolled astern and sank.”...

...The MAGURA V5’s hydrodynamic body and sleek profile give it a quasi-stealth profile combined with excellent maneuverability.

It is 5.5 meters (18 feet) long and, 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide. It has a cruising speed of 22 knots (40.7 kilometers per hour) with a maximum speed of 42 knots (77.8 kilometers per hour) and a range of approximately 833 kilometers (518 miles).

“It is an affordable solution that can be easily launched from any remote location,” its developers, SpecialTechnoExport stated at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in July 2023.”
