The Ukrainian company UFORCE unveiled the MV11 marine drone, the largest member of the MAGURA family, for the first time during a drone parade held in honor of Ukraine's Independence Day, Militarnyi reports.
Largest drone in MAGURA family
During the drone parade held on the Dnipro River to mark Independence Day, the entire current MAGURA lineup was presented, including the new MV11 drone. It was developed by UFORCE's design and R&D bureau in Portugal with international investment and a focus on fulfilling the missions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
The MV11 is the largest drone in its class. Unlike previous models in the family, it is no longer just a strike or reconnaissance platform, but a transport carrier capable of carrying other unmanned systems and equipment.
A key feature of the drone is its ability to launch multiple carriers directly from its deck, effectively transforming it into a mobile maritime base for other unmanned systems.
What tasks drone designed for
Thanks to its increased dimensions, a payload capacity of up to 2,200 kg, and an endurance of up to seven days, the MV11 can operate as a carrier platform: delivering, launching, and providing support for other drones far from shore.
The model is designed for reconnaissance, surveillance, support of amphibious operations, as well as the delivery of fuel and equipment to other unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and it is capable of performing all these tasks around the clock and in any weather conditions.
According to UFORCE CEO Oleh Rohynski, the MV11 is a platform that provides multi-domain capability: a single carrier that transports and launches other unmanned systems far from shore for operations across all domains.
During Ukraine's first-ever drone parade on the Dnipro River on August 24, a fleet of unmanned boats, the Sea Baby, Magura, and Sargan, was showcased.
