These surface drones were armed with Soviet R-73 air-to-air missiles. These missiles have an infrared homing system. The updated Magura have already been used during combat operations in the Black Sea, which has become a serious factor of fear and risk for Russian aviation. The commander of the special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Group 13 with the call sign “Thirteenth” announced this on the YouTube channel “Krapivny”.
Such developments are effective – Russians are very afraid of them. When they see them, they are afraid to even fly up,” he said.
The intelligence officer emphasized that this is a unique development, because no one in the world has any analogues yet. He is convinced that these weapons will produce results in the future.
As you know, Magura V5 is a multi-role surface ship capable of surveillance, reconnaissance, patrol, rescue and combat missions.
Let us remind you that Sea Baby marine drones were equipped with Grad multiple launch rocket systems. The Sea Baby, equipped with MLRS, was first used in December 2023. The updated naval drone has already hit four Russian targets.
