Evidence & current status
V5 operator particulars are historical and configuration-specific. V6P is a documented named platform, but no numerical specification is substituted from V5, V7 or MV7. Existing V7/MV7 technical rows remain labelled.
MAGURA is a family of Ukrainian-origin uncrewed surface vessels with distinct configurations. Ukraine's defence intelligence service presented V5, V6P and V7 publicly on 14 May 2025. It described V6P as a multipurpose platform, but the reviewed operator announcement does not establish a numerical V6P specification or a fleet quantity.
For the earlier V5, a November 2024 operator publication gives a 5.5-metre length, speed above 80 km/h and a 250 kg payload figure. These are historical operator-reported particulars, not universal family values. Wartime statements also need to be separated from independent confirmation of individual operational outcomes.
UFORCE's current catalogue distinguishes V7 from the newer MV7, with different hull dimensions and environmental limits. The main specification table therefore retains its explicitly labelled V7/MV7 baseline; the V5 particulars above remain a separate historical configuration. A larger model's performance is not used to fill V6P's missing data.
UFORCE announced a UK-developed MV7 launch in August 2026 and described wider British research and testing. Its later MV11 announcement also identifies Portuguese development and production. Those industrial locations do not prove British or Portuguese naval adoption. MV11 has a separate profile because its carrier role and maturity differ from the smaller family members.
