TKH Technology showed the Polish 650 N turbojet engine for the MTJD drone household on 8 September at XXXIV MSPO in Kielce. According to the manufacturer, the smallest MTJD-15 is expected to exceed 600 km/h and scope up to 1000 km range. This is simply a real step towards Polish technological sovereignty in defence.
Polish drive shown in Kielce
TKH Technology presented at the global defence manufacture Salon its own turbojet engine designed for unmanned MTJD platforms. The unit has a 650 N string. The company develops the full strategy in Poland: drive, airframe, avionics, integration, investigating and production.
It is the breadth of these competences that is most important. erstwhile bought abroad, the ready-made drone gives you the ability for a fixed-term contract, the availability of parts and the will of the supplier. The own construction household allows you to improve parameters, make further variants and keep the equipment without asking a abroad partner to accept any change. In terms of war and broken supply chains, this is simply a hard part of the safety of the state.
Official material of Targi Kielce presents the plan as the first engine of this kind serially manufactured in Poland by a private company. This declaration must be assessed by subsequent orders, tests and actual production scale. However, the Prime Minister herself shows that the Polish private manufacture can enter the area reserved for a fewer entities.
MTJD-15 is to be fast and far-reaching
According to the manufacturer, the smallest platform, MTJD-15, is expected to make a velocity of more than 600 km/h, scope a scope of up to 1000 km and an operating ceiling of 13,000 metres. The household besides includes larger MTJD-70 and MTJD-100 constructions, designed to carry heavier loads. Platforms may receive different equipment depending on the task, inter alia, to identify, patrol and defend critical infrastructure.
The parameters declared by the company are not yet the same as the confirmed capability implemented in the Armed Forces of Poland. Trials, certification, interference resistance, reliable connectivity and production are needed in numbers that meet the needs of the military. In this area, advertising requirements must not be replaced. The Polish product should get a fair chance, and then go without a discount tariff through military verification.
This year's MSPO brings together many projects building national capabilities. besides shown in Kielce Polish artificial intelligence systems for the militaryand Poland and Canada announced memorandum on defence cooperation. abroad cooperation makes sense erstwhile it strengthens production in the country, it does not bring Poland to the function of the client.
From prototype to order
The MTJD task won the DEFENDER award during MSPO in 2025. The award gives recognition, but only the contract and repetitive production build up defence capacity. The State should clearly identify the needs, finance the essential tests and supply a transparent purchasing path. In return, the entrepreneur must supply parameters, deadlines and the anticipation of servicing in Poland.
The scope of up to 1000 km besides points out that MON announced investigating of systems of fire at a akin distance. This does not prejudge the destiny of the MTJD-15 or its weapons. However, it shows the direction in which the requirements of the modern battlefield change: greater coverage, velocity and mass availability of unmanned systems.
For Poles, advanced value jobs, taxes remaining in the country and the anticipation of replenishing equipment in the crisis are at stake. The most costly army is 1 that buys billions of dependencies. If TKH confirms the declared performance and builds a series production, the state should treat this task as an component of defence sovereignty, not a curiosity from the fair stand.
