Quantum Frontline Industries signs new contract with Ukraine’s National Guard to supply Linza and Zoom drones in 2027

German-Ukrainian joint venture Quantum Frontline Industries has signed a new contract with Ukraine’s National Guard. The agreement provides for producing Linza and Zoom drones in Germany and delivering them to the National Guard in 2027. The company announced this in a press release.

The contract was signed by Major General Oleksandr Pivnenko, Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine; Pavlo Kosolapkin, CTO and co-founder of Frontline Robotics; and Matthias Lena, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Communications at Quantum Systems.

The parties did not disclose the quantities to be supplied. The companies said they determined the figures based on the National Guard’s current requirements.

What Zoom and Linza drones can do

The contract covers two systems developed by Ukrainian company Frontline Robotics based on operational experience and military feedback.

Linza 3.0 is a bomber drone designed for strike and logistics missions in contested electronic warfare environments. Its specifications are:

• payload – up to 4 kg;
• flight range with payload – up to 15 km;
• endurance – up to 60 minutes.

According to the developer, more than 80 units of Ukraine’s Defence Forces use Linza.

Zoom 3.0 is a reconnaissance drone designed to detect targets, determine their coordinates and adjust artillery fire in contested electronic warfare environments. Its stated specifications are:

• tactical operating radius – up to 20 km;
• endurance – up to 60 minutes.

The drone features AI-based navigation and can operate autonomously in the target area. According to the developer, this enables it to provide intelligence and target coordinates when standard radio communications links are disrupted.

QFI to expand production

The new agreement continues Quantum Frontline Industries’ production programme launched in 2026. Next year, the company plans to increase production capacity and move toward stable, industrial-scale serial production of unmanned systems.

QFI’s manufacturing facilities are located in Germany, while Frontline Robotics continues to develop and improve the drones in Ukraine based on military feedback.

“Manufacturing in Germany gives us additional capacity to scale solutions proven in Ukraine and supply them to the military in larger quantities,” Pavlo Kosolapkin said.
