American Zeus Missiles to be Integrated Into Ukrainian Drones

The American defense company Aeon has begun integrating its Zeus guided missiles onto Ukrainian quadcopters.

This was announced by the company’s CEO and founder, Navid Tahmas, in an interview with Defence Blog.

The work is being carried out in collaboration with one of Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturers, whose name has not yet been disclosed.

The cost per unit is approximately $50,000, which is significantly less than the price of traditional anti-tank systems, such as the Javelin, which were not designed for installation on unmanned aerial vehicles.

The missile’s modular architecture allows it to be configured for various launch platforms without fundamental changes to its design.

The software-defined ODIN guidance system ensures precision strikes against armored vehicles and fortified targets.

In addition to aerial platforms, Aeon is working on integrating these missiles onto ground-based and maritime unmanned aerial vehicles. This initiative is being carried out in partnership with another Ukrainian company.
