Pakistan’s Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) unveiled two major long-range loitering munitions, the **D-248** and **S-369**, at the 2026 Indus Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Expo, marking the country's largest and furthest-reaching kamikaze drones to date.
**D-248**
• Design: Tailless delta-wing
• Range: 2,200 – 3,000 km
• Payload: 30 – 50 kg (MTOW: 240 kg)
• Wingspan: 3.3 m
• Speed: 185 km/h cruise | 225 km/h max
• Endurance & Ceiling: 12 – 14 hours | up to 4,500 m altitude
**S-369**
• Design: Arrow-delta wing
• Range: 1,500 – 2,000 km
• Payload: 30 – 50 kg (MTOW: 215 – 225 kg)
• Wingspan: 4.0 m
• Speed: 160 – 180 km/h cruise | 220 km/h max
• Ceiling: up to 4,500 m altitude
Both systems significantly expand long-range precision strike capabilities, combining heavy warhead capacities with high-altitude, long-endurance flight.
