Seth-X

Seth-X is a loitering munition built by Airlogix, the Kyiv-based maker that spent its first two years on cargo drones before converting to defence work in 2022 and is now better known for its GOR reconnaissance UAV. The system was introduced in 2026 and shares its autonomy and swarm stack with the company’s Anubis kamikaze drone, but carries that stack in a distinct X-wing airframe aimed at mid-range strike. Airlogix presents it as a one-way attack system with AI terminal guidance and the ability to continue a mission in a GNSS-denied environment — the standard answer to Russian jamming of satellite navigation along the front line.

The autonomy pipeline is proprietary. Airlogix describes AI terminal guidance running inside the Nemyx swarm framework, mated to a Kraken Kinetics strike core as the warhead package. The company has not published a teardown, and no independent recovery analysis of a Seth-X has appeared in open sources, so the specific onboard compute, sensors and datalink are not publicly known. What Airlogix does state is that Seth-X and Anubis share the same autonomy and swarming layer — one software line, two airframes with different missions, which is how the pair is being pitched to European customers.

Ukraine is the first named operator; no combat use has yet been reported publicly. On 8 April 2026 Airlogix demonstrated Seth-X alongside Anubis at an event hosted by the German Ministry of Defence in Berlin, and the two systems are the lead products of the Auterion–Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH announced at the Munich Security Conference in February 2026, under which both airframes are to be manufactured in Germany. In late September 2026, pro-Russian military bloggers reported that Auterion was testing swarm-control software on Seth-X and Anubis and separately trialling a manual-launch interceptor said to resemble the Russian Yolka system; the claim is unconfirmed and is noted here only as reporting.

Seth-X sits in a crowded Ukrainian long-range strike-drone field alongside domestically built loitering munitions and imported Western equivalents. Its distinctive position is the European industrial route: a Ukrainian design that is also being set up for serial production inside the EU through Auterion, with the shared Nemyx stack as the common thread between its airframe and Anubis.
