Evidence & current status

Announced product; the GLADIUS 2 order in the same release is not attributed to WARMATE 8X.

WARMATE 8X was unveiled by WB Group at the same September 2026 event as GLADIUS 2. It is a separate product, identified by its cruciform control-surface arrangement, and should not be treated as an alternative name for WARMATE 30.

The primary release establishes the announcement and broad configuration. It does not publish a complete endurance, range or airframe-mass table for this model. The Polish order statement in the same release concerns GLADIUS 2; this profile does not transfer that statement to WARMATE 8X.

A product display supports inclusion of an announced programme in the catalogue, including a system that may not yet have a documented operational customer. Future updates should identify flight testing and contract scope independently. Until then, neighbouring WARMATE specifications are not substitutes for missing model-specific evidence.

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
