Ukraine equips Magura MV11 unmanned vessel with vertical-launch Sting interceptors for mobile counter-drone defense over Black Sea
Ukraine has displayed a Magura MV11 unmanned surface vessel fitted with vertical launch cells for Sting aerial interceptor drones, creating a mobile counter-drone concept for coastal and Black Sea operations. The shown configuration carries 18 interceptors, while the 12-meter vessel is advertised with a 2,200-kilogram payload, more than 2,000 nautical miles of range, and up to seven days of endurance. Manufacturer figures put Sting's speed near 280 kilometers per hour and altitude at 7,000 meters, but neither operational deployment nor combat performance of the integrated system has been independently confirmed.
