A new Ukrainian €60,000 surface drone “STALKER 5.0” was presented in Odesa.

The drone can reach a speed of 55-75 km/h and carry 150 kg of explosives.

  1. Maybe someone can clarify. I see that these are effective (for now, at least) but they seem to be limited by their speed. Their speed is restricted by the sea causing drag against the vessel. An anti ship missile that flies just above the water line would be much faster. Why are they using boats instead of missiles? Is it just cost?

  2. After the war if you made a cockpit in that thing I’d buy one

  4. I wonder if they use Rain-X on the camera lens because of the sea spray.

  5. In a few months they will have these spawning aerial drones when they get close to the target

  9. Only 60k? That’s damn good when it comes to military hardware.

  11. 90 hp outboard that thing has some power, that’s for sure.

  12. Cartels probably really interested in this technology.

  13. My dumbass saw the marble and pillars around the display first and thought it was a coffin.

  15. But.. are these the kamikaze kind? I know 60k is nothing vs a sunk ship, still I find it wasteful

  16. In the realm of modern weapons €60k is so cheap it’s unreal. Nothing like a bit of ingenuity to fuck up some Russian ships.

  17. i want mine with flames on the side black and red. After this war Ukraine will prosper. russia will probably collapsed.

  18. Taiwan should be working with ukraine on these projects

  20. Beautiful. Orcs are gonna really love this thing . . . 😈

  22. The camera is mounted on top? I worry about it, the engine, and the exposed wires being prime targets. Although I’d have to imagine it would be incredibly difficult to hit those targets while this thing is crashing through waves hauling ass towards the hull of your boat

  23. I wonder why the announcement? Why not surprise the Russians; or do they know anyway?

  24. I wonder how much of it is the communication equipment. Probably a fairly big part, cant use Starlinks.

  25. Why hasn’t anyone come up with subsurface drones yet? Are they too slow or is it technically difficult?

  27. Are there any public numbers of the endurance just patrolling close to the Kerch strait for Russian soon to be submarines?

  28. Why are they still developing… there ain’t much of a black sea fleet left 😛

  30. Translated into Freedom Units that’s 35-45mph, carrying 330lbs all for $65,000

  32. Okay sure, but remember Russia has that cyborg movie prop robot that can almost ride a motor cycle.

  33. Suggestion to Ukraine : Paint it in MATTE Black color and never place white letters on it for better camouflage.

    This is NOT a boat show, its a war.

  34. Single black naval drone seeking target rich environment in a sea near you. Will travel.
