Egypt is presenting for the first time its recently produced drone dubbed “Nut” 
or “Neuth”, which can carry up to 65 kilograms of weight and hide from satellites.
The product is named after the Ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky.

## Nut (Neuth) drone

The Nut (Neuth) (pronounced “noot,” named for the ancient Egyptian goddess of the
sky) is designed for reconnaissance in both day and nighttime environments and can
reportedly carry up to a 50-kilogram payload. It was produced jointly by the Arab
Organization for Industrialization and the Military Technical College.

The Neuth drone features a maximum payload capacity of 50 kilograms (110 pounds)
and a flying time of up to 10 hours. It also has satellite integration capabilities,
making it ideal for strategic reconnaissance missions using electro-optical technologies.

## Ejune-30 SW drone

The other drone, EJune-30 SW, is 8.9m-long and is equipped with automated take-off
and landing capabilities. It has a 12m wingspan and maximum take-off weight of 1400kg.
The EJune-30 SW can reach speeds of 260kph, and 7000m in altitude, with 24 hours
of endurance time. This drone is produced by Egypt’s Ministry of Military Production
using complex industrial robots.

Produced by the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production, the EJune-30 SW has a 
reported top speed of 260 kilometers (161 miles) per hour and can fly for up to 
24 hours.

Externally, the EJune-30 resembles the Emirati Yabhon United 40 unmanned aerial 
vehicle. It is highly probable that this is the Egyptian version of the UAV after
technology transfer from the UAE to Egypt.

## Thebes-30 drone

Egypt is also developing Thebes-30 unmanned aircraft for surveillance missions. 
There was no mockup at the show since the system is still under development. It 
is being designed to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

UAV Research Institute or 365th Institute, established in 1984.
