Defense Intelligence of Ukraine provides details about the boat destroyed in temporarily occupied Crimea
The Russian army speedboat destroyed by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine in temporarily occupied Crimea was a Russian boat of the 12150 Mongoose project.
This was reported by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
Such a boat was destroyed in the area of Vuzka Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea. The enemy target was hit by the DIU Group 13 unit using a Magura V5 maritime drone.
The Mongoose boat has been manufactured in Russia since 2000. It is 20 meters long and 5 meters wide. It can accelerate up to 50 knots.
The occupiers use such equipment as multi-purpose high-speed vessels for patrolling the waters, fighting saboteurs, and search and rescue operations, the intelligence reports.
The modified versions of the Mongoose are equipped with remote-controlled combat modules with the main standard weapon ― a 14.5 mm machine gun.
There are also two AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers, a DP-64 hand-held anti-sabotage grenade launcher, and two Igla or Verba man-portable air defense systems on board these boats. The cost of the Mongoose is up to $3 million.
