UFORCE Deploys 11 Unmanned Surface Vessels and 8 UAVs in NATO Exercises

Ukrainian defense company UFORCE participated in NATO’s international REPMUS 26 exercise in Portugal.

This year, UFORCE significantly increased its participation, deploying 11 unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and 8 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to the company’s LinkedIn statement.

During the exercise, Ukrainian forces operated both as simulated enemy forces and as NATO-allied forces, launching attack, reconnaissance, and defensive missions.

The MV7 naval drone was showcased at the exercise in all available configurations, featuring different types of payloads.

In particular, the platforms were equipped with interceptors, FPV drones, kinetic effectors, and electronic warfare (EW) systems.

The company also demonstrated its shipborne Nemesis SeaStrike unmanned aerial vehicle for the first time, along with the MV11 boats and the L11 logistics platform.

The entire system was operated through a unified, specialized command-and-control (C2) software suite, while the drones were launched from the decks of boats on the water.

UFORCE crews carried out joint training and combat missions alongside the Ukrainian Navy.

Additionally, as part of the event, Portugal’s President António José Seguro personally inspected the MV7 unmanned surface vessel at the pier.

The 2025 REPMUS exercise featured the upgraded Ukrainian Magura V7.2 unmanned surface vessel (USV), along with two other Ukrainian maritime vessels.

The upgraded Magura V7.2 underwent several hull modifications. The missile launchers were moved from the stern to the middle of the deck, while the exhaust outlets were relocated from the sides of the vessel.

In addition, the camera was raised higher on the mast, which was also fitted with an onboard navigation radar.
