The Kronshtadt Group (also romanized as Kronstadt), is a Russian manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
History
Kronstadt began the development of the Kronshtadt Orion in 2011 as part of the Russian MoD-funded Inokhodets programme.[1] The Orion is similar in design and role to the American Predator/Gray Eagle and the Chinese Wing Loong. The Orion is targeted at both the domestic and export market.[2]
A scale model of the Kronshtadt Sirius was presented for the first time in 2019 at the MAKS-2019 air show.[3][4] By August 2023 Sirius made its first flight.[5][better source needed]
A full size mockup of the Grom UCAV was unveiled at Army-2020 by Kronshtadt.[6][7]
The Kronshtadt Group was a major exhibitor at the 2021 Dubai Airshow.[8]
In 2022 the Group was sanctioned by the United Kingdom as part of a package of sanctions targeting participants in the war with Ukraine.[9][10][11][12]
In May 2025 HUR revealed that Russia was using a new cruise missile produced by Kronshtadt called the S8000 Banderol, with the agency recovering electronic components from China, Japan, the US, and South Korea.[13] The Banderol is air launched with the Orion being the primary launch platform.[14]
