Baykar unveiled three new strategic products for the first time at SAHA 2026 International Defense, Aerospace and Space Industry Fair, held at the Istanbul Expo Center. As one of Türkiye’s leading companies in unmanned aerial vehicle technologies, Baykar introduced the K2 Kamikaze UAV, MIZRAK Smart Loitering Munition and Sivrisinek Smart Loitering Munition, marking a new phase in expendable-class unmanned systems and smart loitering munition technologies.

The K2 Kamikaze UAV stands out as a next-generation platform that combines high-precision strike capability with a low-cost and expendable architecture. Developed for swarm operations, which are becoming increasingly important on the modern battlefield, K2 is described as one of the largest platforms in its class. With a payload capacity of more than 200 kilograms, the system is optimized to neutralize strategic targets even in intense electronic warfare environments.

Another key platform introduced by Baykar at SAHA 2026 is the MIZRAK Smart Loitering Munition. With a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers and a payload capacity of more than 40 kilograms, MIZRAK is positioned as a strategic force multiplier for deep operations. Equipped with AI-supported autonomous strike capabilities, the system combines reconnaissance, tracking and engagement functions in a single body, offering a flexible mission profile for long-range operations and deep target engagement.

Sivrisinek, developed for tactical-level operations, offers a flexible and intelligent solution for dynamic conflict environments. The platform combines reconnaissance and strike missions in a single system and is designed to support target detection, tracking and engagement under rapidly changing battlefield conditions. Like MIZRAK, Sivrisinek features AI-supported full autonomy and can engage targets with high precision even in challenging geographies thanks to AI-enhanced visual positioning capability independent of GNSS.

Baykar is also displaying its proven unmanned aerial platforms at SAHA 2026. Türkiye’s first unmanned combat aircraft, Bayraktar KIZILELMA, is being showcased inside the Istanbul Expo Center with a wide range of national munitions. In the outdoor exhibition area, Bayraktar TB2 UCAV, Bayraktar TB3, the world’s first UCAV capable of taking off and landing from short-runway ships, and Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV equipped with various munition options are being presented to visitors.

The systems displayed at the fair also include Baykar’s AI-based mini smart cruise missiles, KEMANKEŞ 1 and KEMANKEŞ 2. In line with its vertical integration vision, Baykar is also showcasing electro-optical systems developed in-house. These include the BG125, BG135, BG160 and BG180 Gimbal Camera Systems, BLD series laser designators and Bayraktar Fast Mapping Pods, which generate high-resolution data for operational use.

Baykar’s stand also features activities carried out by Bayraktar Technology Azerbaijan, large-scale models of Piaggio Aerospace’s P.180 Avanti EVO and MPA maritime patrol aircraft, and the LEOSS-T electro-optical camera system developed under LBA Systems, the joint venture established by Baykar and Leonardo. During the fair, Baykar is expected to meet with domestic and international stakeholders, public institutions and leading defense companies to sign strategic cooperation agreements aimed at strengthening Türkiye’s defense technology ecosystem.
