Poland showcased for the first time the PLargonia, a drone with design nearly identical to that of Iran’s Shahed, at the 33rd International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) that opened its doors in Kielce on September 2.
The drone was developed by the Polish Air Force Institute of Technology. Two distinct versions were presented: the AT variant, developed as an aerial target drone for training, and an OWA, or one-way attack, variant designed to carry a warhead.
The PLargonia has a wingspan of 2.8 meters and a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 50 kilograms. The drone is powered by a 28 cm³ two-stroke engine producing 3.5 horsepower, equivalent to about 2.5 kilowatts. Its cruising speed is 155 kilometers per hour, with a maximum range of 900 kilometers. The OWA version can be armed with a warhead weighing between 16 and 20 kilograms.

While media reports compared the PLargonia to the Shahed-136, the drone is in fact more comparable in size and performance to the smaller Shahed-131, which also has the same delta-wing design.
Shahid-131 and Shahed-136 drones proved its worth during multiple conflicts in the Middle East. Russian Geran-1 and Geran-2 suicide drones, which are reported to be based on the Shahed-131 and Shahed-136, were also proven to be a gamechanger during the special military operation in Ukraine.
In fact, the PLargonia name refers to “Pelargonium”, the genus of flowering plants that includes the geranium, which can be translated into Russian as Geran.
Poland was most likely able to develop the PLargonia based on examples of Geran-1 and Geran-2 drones provided by Ukraine.
It’s worth noting that the U.S. had already showcased two copies of Shahed\Geran drones: the MQM-172 Arrowhead developed by Griffon Aerospace and the Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) developed by SpektreWorks. The success of the Iranian and Russian drones will likely encourage other countries to make their own copies. It is unclear, however, if they will be as effective as the originals.

poland is a nato member nation. nato is a cornered animal about to die a possibly violent death always dangerous for sure. all nations and international attendants to the recent chinese military parade are fully aware and preparing to counter and defend themselves to the end. the eu brussels dictators live in complete deniability
poland will cease to exist in 5 minutes. but nafo boys are psychotic. you can’t cure a psychotic. except by force. eastern europe will be obliterated in the inevitable conflict by ruaf conventional + tactical nukes
after a medical emergency, my credit cards were maxed out. out of desperation i tried this online method, and now i make around $7719 a month. it doesn’t solve everything, but it gave me breathing space. if anyone wants details, my link is in my profile name.

i returned the pay card to the bank, and closed the account. it was almost impossible to get out the 10$ on it ! they did not handle money, only peasant fouling, zeros 😂
polaks go muslim
it would be far better for them than selling out to the satanist anti humanity dirtbags running nato and the west.
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. everybody is copying iranian drones, the russians, the polacks, the amerikunts. those “goat sh****rs” of joo propaganda turn out to be quite sophisticated people.
congratulate the eunuch polish politicians for participating in attacking russia by sending them a nice sarmat package as consideration for them selling out christianity for the wef cult of lucifer. they are indeed a stupid and incompetent group of greedy pigs.
how many pollacks does it take to screw in a shahed copy drone where a lightbulb fits?
it should be polaks!!!
the myth of western “technological superiority” was destroyed by this war! soviet weapons were better and some still better. and russia should rely on soviet projects against paper tigers of nafo. if russia forgets the money, and invest in his own army, will be umbeatable (even without nukes) no need to be affraid of nafo. time to strike!
but polaks believe they are superior to russians and one day they will shake hands with chinese in ural mountains while their “industry” is able to produce euro-palets and field alters only.
i am most of all interested in pre-egyptian technological superiority. its because i once made one of the tools christopher dunn use for to measure the granite vases, so he do not have to tell me what they are. my plane board was made of cast iron, polished in engine repair workshop.
who knows, its maybe enough to not believe imported nazis, mad technocrats, for to be unbeatable. they send so much trick movies, and forbid you to dig to deep in egypt 😂
polak$ are obviously the new kraut$ and more than ready to $uck ussan a$$
