Evidence & current status
Primary manufacturer release confirms a 2026 order. Delivery and operational acceptance are not established.
WARMATE 30 is the aircraft identified in WB Group’s GLADIUS 2 announcement at MSPO in September 2026. The manufacturer describes a turbojet flying-wing design and explicitly states that the Polish Armed Forces ordered GLADIUS 2 during 2026. This resolves the earlier uncertainty based on secondary reporting about whether an order existed.
The system label and aircraft designation are retained together for discovery, without counting them as two separate vehicles. A programme order still does not establish delivered quantities, completed acceptance or operational deployment. The release does not provide a complete flight-performance table.
Values for the original GLADIUS or smaller WARMATE products are therefore not carried into this record. Nor is a claim of reduced observability treated as proof of a measured signature or guaranteed survivability. The profile establishes the new design and its procurement maturity while making the remaining technical and acceptance questions visible.
