The Ukrainian-Slovak company Wings&Quadro, a member of the National Association of the Defense Industry of Ukraine (NAUDI), has unveiled its new Swan-X 20 attack drone.

This was reported by NAUDI, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".

The Swan-X 20 is a heavy-duty mid-range platform designed to carry out special missions in the challenging conditions of modern warfare.

The drone is capable of carrying up to 20 kg of payload and operating at a tactical range of up to 250 km, with the potential to extend to 300 km. The platform’s maximum speed reaches 160 km/h, and its flight duration is up to 95 minutes.

The Swan-X 20 was developed as part of a Ukrainian-Slovak cooperation and is designed for strike missions at significant distances. The solution combines long range, maneuverability, and the ability to operate in restricted-access environments.

A gasoline-engine variant is being developed separately, capable of carrying up to 50 kg of payload and operating at a range exceeding 300 km, which expands the platform’s application capabilities.

Currently, the Swan-X 20 is preparing to undergo the codification process, which will open the door for further scaling and delivery to units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
