A device for pneumatic launching of a drone includes a launch tube, a pressurization chamber situated at the rear of the tube and provided with a passage opening leading into the tube, and a device for temporarily closing the passage opening. The temporary closing device is arranged to change from a closed configuration to an open configuration instantaneously under the action of the gas pressure inside said chamber, after the latter has reached a trigger pressure, and the cross section of the passage opening is sufficiently large that, instantaneously with the change to the open configuration, the gas pressure prevailing in the chamber and the space located behind the drone, then in communication with each other, is the desired launching pressure for the drone.
