The SKAT 350 M reconnaissance drone has been supplemented with an AI system that allows it to evade attacks by FPV drones, the Kalashnikov concern reported. The new development is being presented at the World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia and, according to the holding company, is a unique competitive advantage.
The SKAT 350 M is designed for aerial reconnaissance and support of ground operations even in harsh weather conditions. It is built according to the "flying wing" configuration with a wingspan of 3.2 meters and is capable of remaining in the air for up to four hours while operating at altitudes above 5,000 meters. The aircraft's structure has been reinforced and adapted for parachute landing, which increases its reliability.
A special feature of the drone is its expanded set of maneuvers for evading FPV drones, which was increased at the request of customers. In addition, the SKAT 350 M successfully operates in conjunction with the "KUB-2E" and "KUB-10E" loitering munitions, forming a unified information space for carrying out complex combat missions.
It was previously reported that foreigners can buy SKAT-350 M reconnaissance drones: this model is being actively offered to countries in the Middle East, the concern said.
