## A familiar silhouette
WB Group has revealed Gladius 2, a loitering munition with a flattened flying-wing body that resembles the B-2 Spirit bomber.

> flattened, wing-shaped body echoes the American B-2 Spirit bomber
## Shape has a job
The flying-wing form is meant to reduce radar and heat signatures. It borrows stealth logic because that geometry scatters radar better than boxy airframes.

> mainly to cut down on radar and heat signatures rather than for looks
## Jet powered strike
Unlike earlier electric Warmate versions, Gladius 2 uses a turbojet for a faster run to its target. It carries an interchangeable 30 kg warhead.

## Built into Gladius
The weapon is designed for WB Group's Gladius reconnaissance strike system, not just solo use. It can launch from a container or dedicated vehicle.
## Scout then strike
Gladius links the FT-5 Los reconnaissance drone, strike munitions, and Topaz software. One operator can find a target, then send a separate weapon.

> locate an objective using the reconnaissance aircraft, then destroy it
## Poland is buying drones
The reveal comes as Poland pours money into domestic unmanned systems. In May 2026, it signed for 400-plus Warmate systems and nearly 200 FlyEye drones.
## Specs still missing
WB Group has not confirmed whether Gladius 2 is in current contracts, or released range and test data. For now, its promise rests on design and payload.

> will remain unclear until WB Group releases actual test figures
## Key takeaway

Gladius 2 is less about looking like a tiny B-2 and more about pairing lower signatures, jet speed, and a 30 kg payload inside Poland's drone strike system.
