Reactive Drone

Reactive Drone is a Ukrainian unmanned-aerial-system manufacturer that develops military and civilian UAV platforms, with public product lines including the Kazhan heavy multirotor bomber family and the Shmavik reconnaissance quadcopter. The company says it has worked on UAV development since 2019, began with agricultural drones, and shifted production toward military systems after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Reactive Drone presents itself as a Ukrainian manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems with in-house research and development work on flight-control, communications, navigation, artificial-intelligence, mechanical-design, and payload-integration technologies. Its public defense products are centered on small and medium multirotor UAVs rather than conventional aircraft, including a heavy bomber/logistics platform and a tactical reconnaissance quadcopter.

The company's own pages describe a commercial origin in agricultural-drone production, followed by a wartime reorientation toward defense requirements. Independent unmanned-systems reference coverage lists Reactive Drone in Dnipro, Ukraine, and describes a product portfolio spanning military drone platforms, agricultural drones, and training support.
