History
Unveiled in 2018, the PD-2 is the flagship of the UkrSpec family: its VTOL variant removed dependence on prepared runways, a critical feature for operations along the Ukrainian front.
The PD-2 is UkrSpecSystems' flagship multi-role platform: three configurations (runway, catapult, VTOL) make it adaptable to any operational scenario, from coastal reconnaissance to behind-the-lines missions.
Fielded by the Ukrainian SBU, Air Force and Navy, the PD-2 is one of the most widely deployed nationally designed long-range tactical drones in Ukraine's arsenal, with exports to undisclosed NATO operators.
