Try Dealroom → has raised a US$3.87M (≈$3.98 million) loan from its largest shareholder, Niewiadów Polska Grupa MilitarnaDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (NPGM). The Warsaw-listed company will use the funds to finance a drone armament centre.

What's the endgame? The money covers the purchase of an organised part of a business and real estate, both earmarked as key infrastructure for the planned Centre for Arming Drones. The site is set to produce components for combat warheads used in unmanned systems — a step in a strategy Tech Robotics published on September 24, 2026.

What could go wrong? The loan is secured by a joint mortgage of up to US$5.5M on the properties bought with the funds, alongside a blank promissory note. That ties repayment directly to assets still being acquired.
