The Ukrainian military has acquired a new drone boat named Harpun, weighing 100 kilograms. This vessel has the capability to wait for up to two days before receiving the order to strike. This allows it to remain in position for extended periods without revealing its presence. The Harpun is equipped with a water-jet engine for propulsion. Additionally, it can switch between three different control channels in seconds. This feature enables the boat to overcome enemy electronic jamming attempts. The new drone boat is designed for attacking maritime targets. Its ability to wait and then strike on command makes it an effective weapon.
