The European company Destinus, manufacturer of Ruta cruise missiles and Hornet anti-aircraft drones, showed the Lord drone with a range of over 1,000 km and a warhead of up to 100 kg.
As reported by «Military», Destinus presented two versions of the UAV — Lord 1 and Lord 2, which have minor design differences.
These drones can fly over 1,000 kilometers and carry a warhead weighing 40–100 kg. Lord can be prepared for launch in 15 minutes.
Swiss startup Destinus, which develops hypersonic UAVs and aircraft and was founded by former Russian citizen Mikhail Kokorich, is also one of the main European suppliers of military drones to Ukraine. In January 2024, Kokorich, 48, renounced his Russian citizenship and calls himself an opponent of Putin.
Starting in the second quarter of 2023, Destinus delivered hundreds of low-cost drones to Ukraine, which had a range of 750 to over 2,000 km. And in January 2026, Destinus demonstrated the Ruta Block 2 cruise missile, which is radically different from the previous version with its powerful warhead.
