Kazhan is a Ukrainian heavy multirotor bomber UAV from Reactive Drone, fielded in quadcopter and hexacopter forms for reusable payload delivery. Ukrainian reporting documents E620 transfers in 2022 and 25th Airborne Brigade combat use in 2024, while the maker markets the 620/630 family for munition drops, aerial mining, and short-range combat logistics.

Role in Conflicts

Operational Employment

Kazhan is presented by its maker as a reusable bomber and described in Ukrainian field reporting as a night-capable heavy UAV. ArmyInform's 25th Brigade report emphasizes adaptable release mounts, thermal-camera use, and mixed strike, mining, and cargo tasks.

TaskDocumented context
Vehicle attack25th Brigade crews used Kazhan against stationary Russian tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, tube artillery, and personnel vehicles.
Minefield emplacementArmyInform describes Kazhan crews laying and expanding minefields from the air.
Night bombingThe thermal-camera package supports night work; one 25th Brigade pilot described night operations as preferable for the crew.
Combat cargoThe product page and ArmyInform reporting both frame Kazhan as a payload carrier that can move ammunition, food, equipment, or medical loads when required.

Model Comparison

Reactive Drone's own comparison keeps the 620 and 630 side by side. The 620 is the faster, lighter quadcopter; the 630 trades speed for extra payload.

Both variants share the same GNSS-guided, PPM-controlled payload-release setup and a dual camera package with day and thermal sensors.

Variants

Reactive Drone presents Kazhan as a 620/630 heavy multirotor bomber family, with the main split between the faster quadcopter and the higher-payload hexacopter.
