With several peaks of over 400 km/h and covering 50 km in just 16 minutes (with half a tank), the aerodynamic design and manufacturing processes are now validated for this French mini-Shahed 238.

The drone is to be equipped with an armor-piercing cumulative warhead, along with innovative technology that will ensure overcoming active protection systems.

As part of the Larinae project, the French Armed Forces intend to purchase drones adapted to combat armored or protected targets at a distance of 50 km and a flight time of 60 minutes.
