STARK's Virtus misses all four strike attempts in British and German army trials
Reports based on Financial Times coverage said Virtus failed to hit a target in four attempts across two exercises, one with the British army in Kenya and one with the German army near Munster. One drone lost control and crashed, and another's battery caught fire after impact.
- Came weeks before Germany picked loitering-munition suppliers.
- Virtus had reportedly scored a combat strike in Ukraine in August 2025.
- STARK had opened a UK production site in July 2025.
