The drone’s design, resembling a PET bottle in size and shape, makes it easy to carry. According to WB Electronics, its developer company, the so-called X-FRONTER can be equipped not only with explosive charges and camera heads but also with other technical innovations. It can function as a flare marker, an infrared marker, or even deploy a smoke screen.
Moreover, the X-FRONTER’s technology allows for swarm operations, enabling a group of these small drones to work together, sharing tasks. Several drones could serve as reconnaissance units, while others, equipped with explosive payloads, could act as mobile artillery, capable of striking an approaching enemy. All of this is controlled from a small panel.
The X-FRONTER can reach a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour and ascend to an altitude of 300 meters. It has a flight time of up to 40 minutes, offering substantial operational flexibility.

Once the war in Ukraine is over, weaponized drones won’t just vanish. They’re already made by companies with different level of ethics and any country able to pay is or will be able to buy them. Sooner or later, like many weapons, organised crime will get their hands on them, and use them outside of battlefield.
There’s no way to completely prevent it, but we could at least limit damage by regulating the shit out of drones.
