Quantum Frontline Industries to produce 10,000 drones for Ukraine at its German facility in 2026

The joint venture Quantum Frontline Industries (QFI) is set to manufacture at least 10,000 drones for the Ukrainian armed forces over the next year at its facilities in Germany. The initial production phase is already underway, the company confirmed today.

Ahead of the Munich Security Conference, President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius visited the QFI site. During the visit, Mr Zelensky was presented with the Linza 3.0 — the first German-produced Ukrainian drone, developed by Frontline Robotics.

QFI Chief Executive Matthias Lena and Frontline Robotics’ Chief Business Development Officer Mykyta Rozhkov demonstrated the assembly line and conducted an inaugural flight.

The company plans to automate production to meet Ukrainian demand and is exploring options to scale operations for the wider European market.

The Linza 3.0, an upgraded bomber drone unveiled earlier this week, is already in service with more than 60 Ukrainian military units. The 12-inch craft features an AI-based visual-inertial navigation module and can carry a 4kg payload over distances of up to 15km. Its flight endurance is rated at 60 minutes.

Quantum Systems and Frontline Robotics announced the launch of their joint venture Quantum Frontline Industries in December 2025, marking the first JV created under the Build with Ukraine initiative.
