MBDA/Fly-R co-develop tube-launched diamond-shaped loitering munition in UAE

MBDA and Fly-R signed a contract to rapidly develop and mass-produce a new diamond-shaped, tube-launched loitering munition in the UAE, marketed as high-speed and highly maneuverable with up to 60 minutes endurance and ~50 km engagement range. The system is described as incorporating embedded AI functions and being deployable man-portable or from vehicles/surface vessels/air platforms, indicating a new/variant LM design and production localization effort worth tracking.
