Technical characteristics of Kub-2-2E:
- Weight — 14.5 kg
- Warhead weight — 4.5 kg

A line of aerial reconnaissance drones was also shown in Abu Dhabi: the Karakurt 2.0 and Goliaph 2.0 copters, the SKAT 350 M all-weather drone, and the Kub-10E guided munitions.
Alan Lushnikov, General Director of the Kalashnikov Group, stated that the Kub tandem with the SKAT has shown high efficiency in real combat conditions.
