A Ukrainian strike drone that quietly hit 450-plus Russian targets steps out of the shadows
The drone pairs with a scout to punch through Russian jamming.
A Ukrainian strike drone, known as the RAM-2X, has emerged from secrecy after successfully striking over 450 targets in Russia. The X-winged loitering munition, made public at the MSPO defense expo in Poland, has been in use along the front lines but remained under wraps.
The drone's special relay capability allows it to work alongside reconnaissance aircraft like the SHARK-M. This collaboration provides target designations, enhancing the drone's effectiveness against Russian electronic warfare systems.
Debuted at the expo, a declassified archive of combat video showcased the RAM-2X targeting Russian surface-to-air missile systems and radars, which are notoriously difficult to hit. The drone's involvement in over 400 air defense engagements, as confirmed by the manufacturer, marks a significant milestone.
Ukrspecsystems promotes the RAM-2X as a system of systems, enabling its reconnaissance equipment users to add a strike capability. This integration streamlines operations, eliminating the need for separate forces.
Capable of operating at the operational-tactical level for over two hours, the RAM-2X is highly automated and can run artificial intelligence assistants. Its warhead, weighing between 2.7 and 3.5 kilograms, is an explosively formed penetrator.
