Details: The unmanned boat called Stalker 5.0 is 5 metres long and 1.2 metres wide.

It can deliver water, food, military equipment and other supplies to islands or coastal areas where the Ukrainian defence forces are stationed in a special bin in the drone body.

In addition, it can be used for reconnaissance and coastal patrolling in sea and river border areas.

A 60-horsepower petrol engine propels the drone to speeds of more than 40 knots (about 75 kilometres per hour). For comparison, a cruiser’s standard speed is about 30 knots (55 kilometres per hour).

The drone is equipped with a Starlink-based video communication and control system. One sample costs about €60,000.
