Kalashnikov Concern stated that the KUB-2 achieved over 90% effectiveness, and up to 95% effectiveness, during testing in areas of special military operations, with high accuracy when coordinated with the SKAT 350M reconnaissance UAV.

Kalashnikov Concern (KC) announced that the KUB-2 suicide attack drone achieved over 90% and up to 95% accuracy during testing in the Special Military Operations (SVO) zone. The manufacturer stated that accuracy was further enhanced when using the KUB-2 in conjunction with the SKAT 350M reconnaissance UAV.

Technical analysis

KC's announcement stated that the software developed by the corporation creates a unified information space, allowing for mission deployment at any time of day or night. The system is equipped with computers incorporating artificial intelligence elements to automatically identify and attack targets. According to KC, this makes KUB-2 "immune" to electronic warfare systems.

When combined with the SKAT 350M, KUB variants are reported to achieve higher accuracy. The connection between the reconnaissance platform and the attack vehicle allows for a shortened detection-identification-target engagement cycle, as described in the announcement.

Deployment tactics

  • Combined reconnaissance-attack: KC stated that the KUB-2 achieved high accuracy when paired with the SKAT 350M reconnaissance UAV.
  • Unified command and control: KC's software creates a unified information space, supporting day and night operations.
  • Automated attacks: Artificial intelligence elements enable the automatic identification and attack of targets.
  • Electronic countermeasures resistance: KC claims KUB-2 is immune to electronic warfare systems.

Context of use

In February of this year, media reported that the Russian Armed Forces had begun using previously unknown kamikaze drones, similar in appearance to the KUB-2. Also that month, Bekkhan Ozdoyev, Director of Industry at the Special Weapons, Ammunition and Chemicals Group of the State Technology Corporation Rostec, reported that the Russian Armed Forces were effectively using the KUB-2 to destroy enemy armored vehicles and air defense systems.

Source reliability level

The effectiveness figures (over 90%, maximum 95%) and claims about electronic warfare capabilities are published by KC on its official Telegram channel. This article does not include any independent data for comparison beyond the information provided above.
