BREAKING NEWS
Pasifik Teknoloji, a Turkish technology firm, announced a significant international sales agreement for FPV kamikaze drone systems. The company signed a contract to export 100,000 units of Merküt-branded kamikaze drone systems to a technology and defense institution from a "friendly and allied" country. This agreement marks Pasifik Teknoloji's first defense industry export transaction. Following the announcement, the company's shares surged 9.96 percent, reaching the daily upper trading limit.
Pasifik Teknoloji operates as a private sector company specializing in defense technologies within Turkey. The firm conducts research and development activities in unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous systems. As part of Turkey's defense industry ecosystem, Pasifik Teknoloji works alongside major organizations such as BAYKAR, ROKETSAN, and ASELSAN to strengthen Turkey's technology-based defense capabilities. The company's entry into the international market represents the opening of a new export segment for Turkish defense industry.
The agreement encompasses various platforms and systems beyond the Merküt FPV kamikaze drone systems. According to the contract, 10 Alpin unmanned helicopters, 25 Dumrul mini unmanned helicopters, 500 Deli tactical kamikaze systems, and 500 Korgan autonomous ground support and surveillance units will be delivered. This diverse system combination provides an integrated solution designed to address the recipient country's varied operational requirements. FPV (First Person View) technology enables operators to receive real-time video feeds, allowing precise target identification and control capabilities.
Kamikaze drone systems represent a rapidly expanding category in the global defense market. FPV-based kamikaze systems like Merküt offer low cost, high effectiveness, and operational flexibility. Turkey maintains a global leadership position in this field through platforms such as BAYKAR's Kızılelma and K2 Kamikaze systems. Pasifik Teknoloji's agreement demonstrates that new actors within the Turkish defense industry can successfully enter international markets. Financial details of the agreement and the identity of the recipient country have not been disclosed to the public.
Global demand for kamikaze and FPV drone systems continues to increase in the defense sector. These systems, which comply with NATO standards and offer cost-effectiveness advantages, feature in various countries' military modernization programs. Pasifik Teknoloji's export success shows that Turkey is recognized as a reliable supplier not only among major corporations but also among mid-sized private sector companies in defense technologies. The agreement strengthens the diversity and localization capacity of Turkey's defense industry ecosystem.
