PG Robotics

PG Robotics is a Ukrainian manufacturer of unmanned systems, registered in Kyiv in February 2023, that builds the Lucky Strike family of reconnaissance-and-strike drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The company’s pitch rests on reusability: rather than a single-use kamikaze drone, a Lucky Strike airframe drops its munition and flies home, and PG Robotics has said one drone typically completes 50 to 70 sorties over its life. The lineup also includes the Lucky Night and Lucky Shot variants.

The current flagship is the Lucky Strike-2, which entered serial production in early 2026. It folds reconnaissance and strike into a single platform able to run the full “detect–track–engage” cycle without separate spotter aircraft. Reported figures put endurance at up to 46 minutes and a tactical radius of 10–15 km depending on payload, with a six-times daytime optic and a dual-sensor module carrying a thermal imager and a 30x reconnaissance camera. The system uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) control to stay flyable under the heavy jamming that now blankets much of the front, and it has been codified for procurement through Ukraine’s Army of Drones programme.

PG Robotics sits among the wartime cohort of Kyiv-based drone startups — a field that includes makers such as Fire Point and Culver Aviation — that moved from prototype to front-line supply inside the full-scale war. The firm reports a production capacity reaching into the thousands of units per month and has been linked in trade press to collaborative work on a Shahed-class interceptor alongside other Ukrainian developers.
