It has a maximum speed of 4 knots and can operate at depths of up to 60 meters.
The vehicle's compact design allows it to be easily transported and deployed from a variety of platforms, including surface ships, submarines, and aircraft. It can also be launched from the shore or a dock. The vehicle is equipped with a GPS system for precise navigation and a communication system for coordination with the command center.
Operational Use[edit | edit source]
The R-2 Mala-class swimmer delivery vehicle is primarily used by Special Operations Forces for covert military operations. Its stealth capabilities make it ideal for reconnaissance missions, where it can approach enemy territory undetected and gather intelligence.

In addition, the vehicle can be used for diver insertion, where it can transport divers to their operational area and retrieve them after the mission.
