Ukraine unveils its deadly new drone boat set to strike fear into the hearts of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet: The kamikaze ‘Stalker’ has 372-mile range and can race at speeds of 46mph over the sea
Ukraine has unveiled a deadly new set of drone boats which it plans to use to devastating effect against Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
The kamikaze Stalker 5.0 vehicle has a 372-mile operational range and can race at speeds of 46mph over the sea thanks to its 60-horsepower speedboat engine.
Ukrainian officials first made details of the unmanned vessel, which can carry explosive payloads of up to 150kg, public at the Black Sea Security Forum.
It is five metres long and 1.2 metres wide and has enough range to target the Kerch bridge between occupied Crimea and mainland Russia – officials said.
Equipped with a Starlink satellite internet terminal, the boat’s drone relays a live video feed back to its operator.
