"Marichka will hit the ships on the underwater part, which can be even more destructive for the warships," specialist naval defense news website Navalnews said.
"A swarm of these suicide underwater uncrewed vehicles is very hard to defend," it said.
Ukraine previously unveiled a much smaller submarine drone called the Toloka. However, it is still being determined if it has been used to attack Russian ships, British newspaper The Telegraph reported.
The Marichka has a range of about 600 miles and can perform attack, transport, or reconnaissance missions, per Navalnews.

The Ukrainian military has steadily built up the sophistication, accuracy and range of its naval drones, from attacking the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea to targeting warships in the harbour of Novorossiysk 200 miles away and now ports towards Bulgaria and Turkey.
The huge investment in Ukraine’s marine drones since the start of the war has made it one of the largest and most sophisticated fleets in the world, according to Navalnews.com, a specialist naval defence news website.
Surface naval drones have carried out almost all of Ukraine’s attacks but now it is launching a submarine drone, a black 20ft-long vessel called Marichka.

Alyona, who refused to give her surname for safety reasons, said she could not get back to sleep after the explosion and lay in bed scrolling news websites and neighbourhood chats for clues.

“I felt really scared that day. I was scared of going out of the house,” she said. “You got the feeling that there was nowhere safe to hide.”
Roman, a young Muscovite who fled Russia in the first weeks of the invasion, witnessed one of the attacks after returning to the country earlier this summer to apply for a work visa to immigrate to Europe.
One morning in July, he too was jolted from his bed by a thud and then a bang. “My immediate thought was that it was a drone attack because there had been a few in Moscow already,” he told The Telegraph.
He went back to sleep but when he woke up in the morning he saw the news: a drone had crashed into a brand new office block a few miles away from his house in south-east Moscow.
