History
The Komarac family emerged as part of post-2010s modernization of the Serbian Armed Forces, with public demonstrations starting around 2023–2024. The Komarac-2 was showcased in 2024 during the Vatreni udar 2024 ("Fire Strike 2024") exercise at the Pasuljanske Livade military training ground.
Characteristics
Small enough to fit in a backpack, the Komarac flies to the target area and crashes into its target while detonating its explosive warhead.[1]
The Komarac series consists of Komarac-1 and Komarac-2 miniature loitering munition. Both variants are quadcopter-based, single-use loitering munitions designed for short-range tactical strikes, emphasizing affordability, precision, and portability. While they share core features like electric propulsion, video-guided control, and activation on impact or remote command, the primary differences lie in their warhead capabilities, intended targets, and overall lethality. The following are the main characteristics of the Komarac-2:
- Weight: 5 kg
- Altitude: 500 m
- Endurance: 30 minutes
- Range: 20 km
- Warhead: explosive payload capable of penetrating armored targets
- Guidance: electro-optical/infrared sensors for target acquisition
- Operation: wireless radio link
