Pancernik
Pancernik (Polish for ‘armadillo’, though it also happen to mean ‘battleship’) is a mini-class reconnaissance-strike unmanned aerial system integrated with a pod carrying two grenades. Its empty (takeoff) weight, without the pod, is 11 kg. It has a flight range of 4.5 km at an altitude of 50 m for up to 50 minutes. The maximum speed is 50 km/h, and the aircraft operates at altitudes from 5 to 120 meters.

As noted, the UAV carries a grenade pod. ITWL foresees four types of aerial munitions:
- LNKO cumulative-fragmentation aerial round for destroying armored and unarmored firing positions and for neutralizing personnel; capable of penetrating up to 120 mm of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA).
- LN-50-D smoke aerial round for creating short-duration smoke screens or for signaling.
- Fragmentation aerial round for engaging personnel, with a lethal radius of 30 meters.
- Flash-bang aerial rounds for crowd-dispersal, with or without tear gas (130–160 decibels).
