Capable of performing reconnaissance missions, the Mara-2P reaches high speeds and can remain airborne for up to 90 minutes, even at low altitudes and in adverse weather conditions, according to Kravchenko. The drone was acquired by the Civil Defense Department of Kyiv's regional state administration through a grant from the Skvyra community. Produced in Ukraine, the Mara UAV has been used on the front lines even prior to Russia's full-scale invasion.

Weighing approximately 2.5 kg, the Mara-2P features a low-noise electric motor and can conduct target identification and surveillance over a range of up to 25 km, both during the day and at night. The drone has a flight range of up to 100 km, a maximum speed of 100 km/h, and can operate at an altitude of up to 3,000 meters.

 Its ability to withstand strong winds of up to 20 meters per second, combined with its low-altitude operational capabilities, makes it valuable for military missions. Additionally, the Mara-2P is designed to resist enemy electronic warfare systems, enhancing its effectiveness in operations behind enemy lines.

The Mara-2P is a short-range reconnaissance UAV developed by MARA-DRONE, a Ukrainian military tech company. In use by the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2016, it has been praised for its reconnaissance and surveillance missions. The Mara-2P is powered by an electric propulsion system, allowing it to cover distances up to 150 km, with a flight duration of 120 minutes.

It is optimized for rapid deployment and does not require specialized launch equipment. The drone’s modular payload system supports the integration of various sensors, enhancing its operational versatility. With a surveillance range of 50 km, it provides critical intelligence on enemy movements and infrastructure.

The Mara-2P has been successfully deployed in Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia, logging over 10,000 flight hours. It is endorsed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense for its resilience to enemy electronic warfare, which makes it particularly useful in contested airspaces. While primarily used in Ukraine, its battlefield success has garnered international attention, although there is no confirmed widespread use beyond Ukraine.
