The newest marine drone Stalker 5.0 was presented in Odesa, β Dumskaya.
The drone is about 5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. The range is 600 kilometers, in the kamikaze configuration, a warhead weighing 150 kg can be installed.
Can be used as a multipurpose platform.
The price starts at 60,000 euros, which is almost four times less than the closest competitor in the class, the MAGURA V5.
You know shit is getting real when proven effective weapons to disable and sink hundred million dollar warships can be purchased by a single middle class family. These things are the same price as the large pickups that many in America buy on a regular basis.
Glorious credit debt!
Kinda like we're at a point of history again where incredibly expensive plate armor on a guy that trained his entire life could be countered by some random farmer with a shitty rifle.

@LaFinlandia from behind it kinda looks like a coffin with a boat engine, which is kinda fitting for its purpose.
Look at that armor belt. The tasteful thickness of it.
600 km is about enough to make it to the Kerch Strait from Ukrainian-controlled territory.
If you can stick a MANPADS on one, that'd make it a lot riskier to counter groups of them with gun-bearing helicopters, which Russia appears to have been trying to do in the videos I've seen.
If they could modify the outbord to an inboard its effectively a radio controlled torpedo.
Iβll take two please.
And here I was thinking I was looking at some high-end barbeque station...

60k and 50k of it is that outboard...lol
What a joke.
