Ukrainian unmanned systems developer Ukrspecsystems<\/a> has unveiled the RAM-2X X-wing strike UAV at the MSPO 2026 defence exhibition in Poland, the company\u2019s Deputy CEO Andrii Rymaruk told Defender Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine’s Defence Forces have used the RAM system since 2024, but it remained anonymous until now due to security restrictions. According to Ukrspecsystems, the loitering munitions have already hit more than 450 targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manufacturer has also released footage showing RAM-2X strikes on Russian air defence assets. Defender Media looks at the key details of Ukrspecsystems\u2019 newly declassified strike system and highlights some of the most notable footage of its combat use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know about RAM-2X<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

RAM-2X is a mid-strike<\/a> system designed to engage high-value targets. It operates at the operational-tactical level with a range of up to 180 km. According to the manufacturer, the drone can remain airborne for more than two hours. It is available with two warhead options: a 2.7 kg shaped-charge warhead or a 3.5 kg warhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the developers, RAM-2X features a high degree of automation. It can also be equipped with AI assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAM-2X can be fitted with various communications modules. The system can operate over multiple radio bands as well as Starlink. It also supports relay operations, allowing it to work alongside a reconnaissance drone such as the SHARK-M. In this configuration, the reconnaissance drone provides target designation and helps the system operate more effectively against enemy electronic warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsers who already operate our reconnaissance systems can now add a strike component that works with the same antennas and ground stations,\u201d Ukrspecsystems said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrspecsystems notes that RAM-2X has a proven track record of combat use by Ukraine\u2019s Defence Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFootage of targets being hit by RAM systems has been appearing online regularly, but until now, security restrictions prevented the company from identifying itself as the developer behind these strikes,\u201d the company explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
