During the Fire Free-2026 exercise conducted by the Ministry of National Defence, the 20 kW fiber laser module of the MKE-developed TOLGA Close-Range Air Defense System successfully destroyed a drone target at 760 meters distance. The system provides an integrated air defense solution combining laser, weapon, and electronic countermeasure capabilities.

AKINCI armed unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Baykar successfully completed its first firing test with the Morpheus Guidance Kit (MGK) developed by ASELSAN using entirely domestic components. The test was conducted from Çorlu Flight Training and Test Center.

Baykar's AKINCI Unmanned Aerial Vehicle completed a successful firing test in the Saros Gulf using ASELSAN's domestically developed MORFOZ Winged Guidance Kit. The munition integration enhances the platform's operational effectiveness against diverse target types.
