Germany will produce Anubis and Seth-X strike UAVs for Ukraine with very advanced combat artificial intelligence
Defense enterprise Auterion Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH announced receiving an order for production of thousands of heavy drones with artificial intelligence, which will be executed in Ukraine’s interests but financed by the German government. The drones themselves aren’t named in the company’s announcement. Only that these are strike UAVs with X-shaped and delta-shaped wings that will be produced at a pace of thousands per year.
However, their names were obviously disclosed at the Office of the President of Ukraine, where the list of drones being created at joint German-Ukrainian enterprises includes precisely two models from Airlogix and Auterion: Anubis and Seth-X. These drones were also shown in video and photos.
As noted, Anubis is designed for striking manpower, tactical and strategic targets, as well as armored vehicles at medium range. Because there’s currently no disclosed data about Anubis, only certain assumptions can be made. In particular, this may be a version of the drone that Auterion called Artemis ALM-20. However, it’s a deep strike with a flight range up to 1,600 km and a warhead weight of 45 kg. It may have been somewhat reworked and reprofiled for middle strike, in particular, either by reducing geometric dimensions or by increasing the warhead.
Seth-X, in turn, as noted, is designed for destroying personnel and light armored vehicles, including logistics and transport vehicles. Obviously, it’s a replacement for UAS Seth kamikaze drone, whose use was first noticed at the beginning of 2025.
One can also note that it has folding wings, meaning it will be launched from a transport-launch container. Its exact characteristics aren’t announced, but one can expect similar autonomy and target engagement range at distances of tens of kilometers.
At the same time, the main feature of all these drones is the wide application of artificial intelligence algorithms for high autonomy of navigation, target detection, as well as engagement. This is the main contribution of the Auterion company, which specializes in these solutions and integrates its own software-hardware solution. However, we note that no official data about Anubis and Seth-X has been disclosed so far.
It’s also worth explaining why Auterion Airlogix Joint Venture is specifically an American-German-Ukrainian company. It was formed by combining Ukrainian drone company Airlogix and American Auterion, which maintains its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. However, Auterion opened a separate division in Germany, which, on February 13, 2026, formed joint venture Auterion Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH together with the Ukrainian company. This enterprise has now received the order from the German government.
I am certain that as time progresses, the cockroaches will have an increasingly difficult time keeping pace with Ukraine’s and its allies’ abilities in building cutting-edge drones, much less in combating them. In many respects, the cockroach army is already outmatched in quality and technology.
