PERUN Precision Works

PERUN Precision Works is a Ukrainian drone manufacturer that has paired domestic production with a deepening partnership with the German firm Germandrones . Led by chief executive Igor Savuliak, the company handles local delivery, training and maintenance for Germandrones’ Songbird surveillance platform — more than 500 of which were supplied to Ukrainian units over a twelve-month stretch — while building its own strike systems alongside that work. Savuliak has framed the model as keeping production, training and field operations close together, so that fixes worked out at the front feed quickly back into manufacturing.

Its flagship product is the Phoenix FPV, a first-person-view strike drone developed jointly with Germandrones and tested with several Ukrainian units. The Phoenix K1 variant carries a payload of up to 3.5 kilograms out to roughly 30 kilometres and incorporates AI-supported target acquisition and tracking — part of a broader trend in Ukraine’s FPV fleet toward onboard guidance that holds a lock through electronic-warfare interference. The two companies have described plans to scale Phoenix output sharply, with facilities intended to turn out as many as 10,000 units per month; the active bodies for the type are produced through Ragnarök, a joint venture between Germandrones and a Ukrainian partner that has also signalled ambitions to develop interceptor drones for NATO states.

The “Perun” name also attaches to a reusable bomber drone, the Perun X-9, ordered through the Brave1 defence-tech marketplace and credited with thousands of frontline strikes. Open-source reporting has not established which manufacturer builds the X-9, and no source reviewed here ties it to PERUN Precision Works; that connection remains unconfirmed. What is documented is the company’s role as a producer of the Phoenix line and as a local sustainment partner embedding foreign UAV technology into Ukrainian service.
