THIS deadly new “duck” drone armed with explosives has been built to help fend of Putin’s forces.
The Polish-built stealth weapon has been unveiled at the MSPO 2025 arms exhibition – but one bizarre design flaw has got everyone talking.

Developed by the Military Institute of the Land Forces, the drone has a control range of up to 5km.
The sneaky invention also boasts a 10kg payload, making it a lethal trap to any invader unfortunate enough to cross its path.
But it has drawn attention for one curious aspect of its design.
While it’s named the Kaczka – the Polish word for duck – the drone doesn’t quack like a duck, swim like a duck or even look like a duck.
In fact, the “duck” drone actually resembles a beautiful white swan instead.
An X post from PortalMilitarny.pl reads: “A novelty at the Kielce MSPO 2025 fair will be the unmanned amphibious vehicle Kaczka, created at the Land Forces Academy.
“It can be used for covert reconnaissance, thanks to the camera placed in the bow, as well as for strike missions using an optional 10 kg explosive charge.”
Designed for sneaky stealth missions, the “duck” is also armed with a single “cyclops” camera installed on its head.
The drone sits on top of a box, and can both swim and track along the land.
While an eagle-eyed trooper might spot it as a fake swan, but from a difference it could be confused for the real thing.
But as drone warfare continues to develop with terrifying pace, it is not the only deadly “bird” revealed by militaries around the world.
The Chinese armed forces have developed a sneaky flying drone for covert missions.
These weapons – known as an “ornithopter” – were built to resemble a Eurasian tree sparrow.
Chinese special forces recently demonstrated the terrifying drone, which even replicates a bird’s wings flapping as it soars through the air.
A video shows a trooper emerging from the water with a drone, which then powers up and takes to the sky.
Colonel Phil Ingram, a former Army intelligence officer, previously told The Sun on Sunday: “These drones could revolutionise reconnaissance operations on the battlefield.
“It’s just a matter of time before we see these being used in war zones such as Ukraine and there is quite a strong likelihood that they could already be part of Russia’s drone armoury.
“They will be used to conduct short term spying missions and if they can be fitted with a small warhead or weapon they could be used to take out individual battlefield commanders.”
And elsewhere, biomimetic roboticists at New Mexico Tech have discovered a way to use dead animal parts as recon devices.
They have made use of dead pigeons, pheasants and ducks by bringing them back to life as zombie robots.
Flying drones have been created by replicating the birds wings – with mainly pigeons being used.
