Descripción general
Ukrainian 6 m underwater attack drone designed to travel 1,000 km and lie in wait before striking ships or bridges.
Marichka is a Ukrainian uncrewed underwater attack vehicle developed by Ammo Ukraine and first shown in 2023, a submerged counterpart to Ukraine's surface sea drones. The 6 m, 1 m-diameter torpedo-like vehicle has a reported range of about 1,000 km at a slow 10 km/h, which keeps it quiet, and it can sit at preset coordinates for up to a week before being commanded to attack. Reported warhead sizes range from about 200 kg to around a tonne, enough to threaten warships and structures such as the Crimean Bridge. Exact specifications are withheld for security reasons.
