MTJD is the first fully Polish family of turbojet drones, designed and built by domestic engineers. Thanks to its modular design, the platform can be quickly adapted to a variety of missions, from reconnaissance and combat support to transport or patrol operations.

The family includes three variants:
- MTJD 15 – range up to 1,000 km, ceiling of 13,000 m, payload over 15 kg,
- MTJD 70 – optimized for speed and carrying heavier payloads,
- MTJD 100 – the most powerful version, reaching Mach 2.3 (approx. 2,440 km/h) and carrying more than 100 kg.
With these capabilities, the MTJD can, in many cases, take over missions currently performed by costly manned platforms or cruise missiles, offering comparable effectiveness at significantly lower operational costs.
The project was developed entirely in Poland—from the initial design sketches to the construction of its own turbojet engine.
“We realized that we couldn’t wait for someone else to do it for us. We had to create our own solution, independent of foreign suppliers. Today, the MTJD is proof that Poland is capable of building world-class technology,” said Patryk Kopacki, CEO of TKH and the originator of the project.
“The greatest thanks go to our engineers. It is thanks to their work and passion that Poland has gained a solution that can meaningfully support security, including along NATO’s eastern flank,” added Mariusz Maciołek, member of the TKH management board.
The MTJD production line enables the manufacture of approximately one thousand drones per year. The company is also preparing to expand its infrastructure, anticipating growing demand for this type of solution.
The Defender award confirms that Poland is capable of developing technologies that not only address contemporary challenges but can also become an important component of the security framework of the entire NATO alliance.
