RAM-2X

The RAM-2X is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and loitering munition developed by Ukraine first unveiled in April 2024.[1] It uses an X-wing configuration for manoeuvrability. It's an upgraded version of the RAM-II drone, a design based on the DeViRo Leleka-100.[2]

While exact specifications have not been disclosed, it's rumoured of being capable to carry a warhead weighing up to 3 kg, reach speeds of 160 km per hour, hit targets at distances of more than 150 km, and operating under electronic warfare conditions.[3][4][5][6]

In December 2024, the system was presented as being used with Ukrspecsystems' Shark drone in the spotter role.[7][8][9]

Operational history

The RAM-2X is being used by Ukrainian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Video evidence and intelligence reports indicate hits on stationary targets, such as air defense installations and moving military vehicles. It has been spotted in the Donetsk,[10] Kursk,[11] and Luhansk regions.[12][13][14]
