RAM-2X

A Ukrainian X-wing loitering munition designed for precision attacks against air-defense systems, radars, command vehicles and other high-value targets at ranges of up to 180 km.

Overview

The RAM-2X is a catapult-launched, electrically powered loitering munition developed by Ukraine's Ukrspecsystems. The manufacturer classifies it as an operational-tactical system and advertises a mission range of up to 180 km, endurance of up to 2 hours 15 minutes and a maximum speed of 180 km/h. Its principal stated targets are air-defense systems, radars, command vehicles and lightly armored equipment.

The aircraft combines an X-shaped wing, an electro-optical and infrared sensor turret, operator supervision and automatic terminal tracking. It normally operates with a SHARK-M reconnaissance UAV, which can locate targets and relay communications between the munition and its ground station. Ukrspecsystems presents this pairing as an integrated reconnaissance-strike system rather than a stand-alone expendable aircraft.

Although the RAM-2X was used in combat from 2024, Ukrspecsystems did not publicly identify itself as the manufacturer of the RAM family until the system's formal unveiling in Poland on 8 September 2026. The company subsequently released an archive of strike footage approved for disclosure by the Ukrainian military. Public engagement totals remain manufacturer claims and do not provide a verified count for the RAM-2X alone, a distinction noted by the UK Defence Journal.
