Ukraine and the U.S. have unveiled Artemis — a new AI-powered long-range strike drone set for mass production after successful testing announced on October 16, 2025. Developed by Ukraine in partnership with U.S. defense tech firm Auterion, the drone boasts a 1,000-mile range and an 88-pound payload, matching the best in Ukraine’s arsenal.
What sets Artemis apart is its advanced software — the Auterion Visual Navigation system and Skynode N mission computer — allowing pinpoint targeting even in GPS-denied environments. With manufacturing lines being established in Ukraine, the U.S., and Germany, the Artemis marks a pivotal shift in drone warfare and signals renewed military collaboration between Kyiv and Washington.
