Among other products of the Ukrainian defense industry, the model of the multifunctional ship "Kaira-150" was singled out. It is powered by two diesel engines and can reach a top speed of 27 knots. The ship is supposed to have a steel hull and an aluminum or, alternatively, composite superstructure; artillery armament can be installed in the bow, including a 30-mm cannon, Igla-type MANPADS and two 12,7-mm machine guns.
The platform will be equipped with an American-made gyroscope, the operation of which, unlike conventional analogues, does not depend on the speed of the ship; it is able to stabilize the position of the vessel during deceleration or even at anchorage.
