History
Evolution of the RAM I and RAM II built by Kyiv-based CDET, the RAM-2X entered service in 2022 and saw large-scale production from 2023 under the 'Army of Drones' programme.
The RAM-2X is the third generation of the RAM family developed by Kyiv-based CDET: a low-cost tactical loitering munition designed for precision strikes against Russian vehicles, fortifications and artillery positions at short to medium range.
Thanks to funding from the government 'Army of Drones' programme launched by Mykhailo Fedorov, RAM-2X production has been scaled on a monthly basis since 2023 and the system is now one of the most widespread tactical kamikaze drones in Ukrainian assault brigades.
