Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is designed for a variety of maritime tasks, including surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, maritime security, and combat missions. Developed by the state-owned Ukrainian firm SpetsTechnoExport, the Magura V5 was first presented at the International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) in Istanbul, Turkey, in July 2023.

It is about 5.5 metres long, equipped with multiple sensors and can carry a 320kg warhead 800km, accelerating to 42 knots as it gets near its target. It has a mix of different guidance systems, including GPS, wireless mesh or a waterproof first-person-view camera. Propulsion can be electric or hybrid which, with its streamlined profile and hydrodynamic structure, gives it a semi-stealth capability.
