The contract is estimated to be worth about $10.85 million, with deliveries to begin this year and continue through next year.

The agreement was signed at the KADEX International Defense Exhibition, with Piotr Wojciechowski, President of the WB Group, and Wang Jung-hong, CEO of DAPA, signing the contract.

Warmate 3 was developed based on the experience of operating previous models in the combat zone.

The drone’s operational range is 30 kilometers, and communication with the operator can be maintained at a distance of up to 80 kilometers.

The flight duration is 70 minutes, and the engine generates a small amount of noise and can be turned on and off during the flight.

In addition, the drone’s maneuverability was improved by integrating additional aerodynamic surfaces.

Warmate 3 can carry a warhead weighing up to three kilograms.
