MKE's 7.62 mm fragmented anti-drone ammunition demonstrated successful performance in test firings against airborne threats. The ammunition offers an effective solution against mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles used in various roles on the modern battlefield, ranging from reconnaissance operations to kamikaze attacks. Infantry units can equip their existing weapons with anti-drone ammunition-loaded magazines, rapidly transforming into air defense elements capable of responding to threatening UAVs within seconds.

MKE is one of Turkey's leading ammunition manufacturers, developing munitions for various calibers and weapon systems. Beyond conventional ammunition production, the company actively develops new solutions tailored to modern warfare requirements. The increasing threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield has compelled the defense industry to develop new products in this field. MKE's work in this area demonstrates the technological advancement pace of Turkey's defense sector.

The fragmented anti-drone ammunition mechanically opens approximately 5 meters after leaving the barrel, dispersing specially designed fragments toward the target. With an average muzzle velocity of 680 m/s, the ammunition creates a dense particle cloud measuring approximately 1 meter in diameter at 50 meters and 2 meters at 100 meters. This wide effect volume provides significantly higher effectiveness against drone targets compared to conventional ammunition. The probability of hit against small, highly maneuverable drones is substantially increased.

The ammunition has been developed in 7.62×51 mm NATO and 7.62×39 mm calibers and requires no additional systems or platform modifications. It features broad applicability across infantry rifles, machine guns, vehicle-mounted weapon systems, and remotely operated gun turrets. Its full compatibility with existing weapon systems eliminates the need for additional training or system costs for users. This characteristic enables rapid operational integration and allows units to respond quickly to emerging drone threats.

MKE is developing a multi-layered ammunition family to counter increasing unmanned system threats. Alongside 7.62 mm fragmented ammunition, anti-drone ammunition solutions are being developed in 12.7 mm, 20 mm, and 35 mm calibers. This approach reflects a comprehensive defense strategy addressing different platform and mission requirements. The solution provides effective anti-drone capabilities for base areas, critical infrastructure, border lines, and mobile units.
