The Armed Forces of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and other European countries are testing a new shock drone HX-2. This was stated Hartpunkt.

According to the company representative, the successful completion of the tests can open the path to the purchase of the drone by the specified countries. For example, the German Bundesver plans to complete the HX-2 test by the end of this year.

Simon Brunes also noted that the first shock drones of HX-2 have already been transferred to Ukraine for qualification. It is expected to be completed within a few weeks.

Helsing noted that they consider HX-2 as a European response to the Russian “Lancet”. Helsing co-founder Gundbert Sherf said that the company’s goal is to make HX-2 not only more powerful but also more accessible than Lancet.

The drone was designed from scratch for mass production. This can significantly reduce the cost of a unit compared to traditional systems.

Gundbert Sherf added that the first reviews are already coming from Ukraine, where the price of HX-2 is called “very economical”. This is probably due to the fact that Helsing does not receive economic profit from the supply of these drones to Ukraine.

The company is now capable of producing 450 HX-2 units at the Resilience Factory (RF-1) in southern Germany. The indicator can be increased to 1000 systems per month, provided additional staff training.

Helsing is also preparing for the construction of the Second Resilience Factory plant, which will increase the total monthly production volume to about 2500 HX-2 units.
