Deliveries have commenced under a contract signed at the end of May by the Armament Agency and WB Electronics S.A. According to the contract, worth approximately 1.3 billion zloty (approx. £250 million), the Polish Armed Forces are ultimately to receive 190 FlyEye unmanned aerial systems. Six of these sets will equip the reconnaissance platoons of the K2GF and K2PL tank battalions. 184 sets will go to the operational forces and the Territorial Defence Forces. Deliveries of the UAVs are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2030.

FlyEye unmanned systems are designed for aerial imagery reconnaissance using optoelectronic payloads that enable observation and image recording by day and night. According to information provided in August by the CEO of the WB Group, the company is currently capable of producing up to 25 complete sets per day.
