The Armed Forces of Ukraine received a new marine drone "Katran" - Ministry of Digital Transformation

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine has introduced a new naval drone for the Armed Forces of Ukraine – “Katran”.

A 3D visualization of the combat drone, which has already been used in actual combat conditions, has been published. However, the details of its missions are classified.

According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, "Katran" is capable of destroying targets at sea, on land, and in the air. It is equipped with torpedoes, a minigun, a machine gun, a man-portable air-defence system (MANPADS), and other types of weaponry. The drone has a built-in automatic threat recognition and decoy release system, making it independent of individual electronic warfare systems (EWS).

"Katran" can cover a distance of over 1000 km, performing both strike and reconnaissance operations. This is another step in strengthening Ukraine’s military capabilities in the maritime domain.
