These multipurpose boats are already being manufactured at Ukrainian factories.
Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko posted a photo of a Sentinel motorboat on his X social media page.

The company added that the boats, which can perform tasks both in rivers and in the open sea, will help Ukraine.
The 830R can be deployed quickly and requires minimal maintenance, providing greater operational readiness when the Ukrainian forces need it, said Sentinel Boats CEO George McGuire.
The boats are expected to be delivered to Ukraine in the ‘coming months’ along with other allocated assistance from the Australian government.
Australia provides Ukraine with new military assistance
Australia will provide Ukraine with drones as part of a coalition of drones. Ukraine will also receive a large batch of RBS 70 man-portable air defence systems.
This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.
Australia is preparing a new aid package for Ukraine worth $100 million. Half of this amount will be spent on a large batch of man-portable air defence systems. More than $30 million will be spent on drones as part of the ‘drone coalition’, and the rest will be used for other military needs.
In addition, Australia will provide Ukraine with air-to-ground munitions.
