Russia's arms exporter Rosoboronexport says the KUB-2-2E loitering munition can carry out strikes as part of a swarm, TASS reported, according to VPK.name. Vasily Kruglov, its deputy director for strategy and development, spoke at the International Forum for Collective Security.

Kruglov said the munition hits targets at ranges of up to 40 kilometres and carries a 4.6-kilogram warhead. A slide shown at the event gave its speed as 100 to 150 km/h, and it can stay in the air for 25 minutes.

In December it was reported that Kalashnikov had delivered all KUB-2 drones ordered by the state customer under a 2025 contract.
