Ukrainian company NOCTIS has officially launched its new target‑seeker drone, the ZIRKA. The drone was first showcased in May 2026, but the formal introduction came today.
According to the manufacturer, the ZIRKA has a 30‑kilometer operational range, a ceiling of 6 kilometers, an endurance of about 20 minutes, and a top speed of 340 to 380 kilometers per hour. It can carry a one‑kilogram payload and is priced at roughly $2,000.
The current ZIRKA 1.0 is equipped with an automatic target detection system and final guidance up to 1.2 kilometers. A ZIRKA 2.0 version is under development, which will extend the automatic target detection range to about 2 kilometers.
