Ukrainian company Skyeton has developed the Stormbird strike unmanned aerial system, designed for high-precision strike missions. The company told Militarnyi about it. According to Skyeton, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine are already using the system to hit enemy targets.
Stormbird is built on the architecture of the Raybird (ACS-3) reconnaissance UAV. Compared with it, the system offers wider payload integration options, allowing it to perform more types of tasks. In early 2026, the unmanned aerial system was codified by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense.
According to Skyeton, the platform draws on more than 350,000 hours of combat use of Raybird reconnaissance drones. The new model stands out for improved flight endurance, reliability and resistance to electronic warfare systems. Strike capability is the new addition.
Several payload options are planned for Stormbird. These include the Remora glide munition, the Quadremora FPV-type loitering munition, and a relay that provides continuous communication beyond the coverage area of ground infrastructure.
