Loitering ammunition KUB-E was developed by ZALA Aero (part of the Kalashnikov group of companies), in November 2021 it successfully passed state tests. In 2022, its serial deliveries to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are planned.

“Today, there are practically no drones with similar weight and size indicators on the world market. The dimensions of the KUB are 1210*950*165 mm, while it can carry a payload of up to 3 kg,” Kalashnikov stressed.

KUBs can be used to strike at infrastructure facilities, enemy manpower, as well as lightly armored targets. The KUB operates silently and reaches speeds of up to 130 km / h thanks to the electric power plant and can spend up to 30 minutes in flight.

The fact that KUBs will be in demand on the world market is evidenced by the interest shown to them by foreign customers during the first public demonstration at the international exhibition IDEX-2019 in Abu Dhabi.
