Baykar and Leonardo established a joint venture at the 55th Paris Air Show; integration on TB3 and AKINCI, and certification for the European market are planned by 2026.

Baykar’s Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV successfully completed a low-altitude, autonomous strike test using Roketsan’s CHAKIR cruise missile, which identified and hit its target with full precision.

TUSAŞ signed a landmark agreement with Indonesia for the export of 48 KAAN fifth-generation fighter jets. Deliveries will be completed within 120 months and include technology transfer and local production components.

Bayraktar TB3 UCAV completed 100 successful sorties aboard Türkiye’s flagship TCG Anadolu. The latest trials featured AI-assisted, fully autonomous takeoff and landing systems, marking a new milestone in naval aviation history.

Ukraine launched a massive drone strike deep inside Russia, targeting strategic airbases and destroying several bombers. Experts call it a turning point in modern warfare, both militarily and in terms of intelligence operations.

Nearly a century after its founding, TOMTAŞ Aviation and Technology Inc. has been revived in Kayseri, reigniting Turkey’s first aircraft factory. Its reactivation has sparked the creation of 11 new aerospace companies, positioning the region as a new industrial and defense aviation hub with a $63.5 million investment.

For the first time, the Turkish Air Force’s 181st Squadron successfully launched two AGM-65 Maverick missiles simultaneously at the Karapınar Firing Range, striking both targets with pinpoint accuracy.

Experts say Turkey has officially entered a “golden age” in naval aviation as the Bayraktar TB-3 successfully conducts takeoff and landing tests on the TCG Anadolu and the KIZILELMA UCAV prepares to follow. This shift enables the Turkish Navy to conduct extended operations without dependence on land-based airfields.
