Poland has contracted local defense company WB Group to supply 10,000 Warmate loitering munitions to the army.
The weapons will be built in their latest configuration, with deliveries of 1,000 at a time until 2035.
Upon arrival, the drones will be distributed as a standalone system for unmounted troops and a vehicle-launched capability for mobile operations.
Warsaw noted that the kamikaze drones will be used to identify and neutralize threats ranging from light armored targets to enemy infantry units.
WB Group’s Warmate solution measures 1.1 meters (3.6 feet) in length and has a wingspan of 1.6 meters (5.2 feet).
It has a maximum takeoff weight of 6 kilograms (13 pounds) and can carry different types of warheads, such as standard and thermobaric bombs.
The drone is equipped with an electric motor for an operational ceiling of up to 300 meters (984 feet) and a speed of 150 kilometers (93 miles) per hour.
Warmate can destroy adversarial assets up to 30 kilometers (19 miles) away.
