A Polish company has recently unveiled a new quadcopter attack drone designed for urban warfare and capable of carrying a warhead in order to conduct precision strikes against lightly armored targets.

The Polish Company WZL 2 has presented its Dragonfly UAV. The Dragonfly opens a new use for military quadcopters. With its ability of vertical takeoff and landing, the quadcopter can be launched from practically anywhere and used to to assist foot soldiers with taking out hostile armored threats.

With its maximum takeoff weight of five kilograms, the Dragonfly can be fitted with different payloads. Depending on the payload, the quadcopter can be used for precision strikes of targets or for clearing areas up to ten kilometers away.

The quadcopter was designed for both open area combat and urban warfare, making the Dragonfly an incredibly versatile attack system.

The Dragonfly can be equipped with daytime or nighttime cameras, as well as fragmentation, cumulative, thermobaric, or training warheads.
