Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani and his delegation visited Baykar’s Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology Center, where Selçuk and Haluk Bayraktar briefed them on projects; SSB President Haluk Görgün also attended.

Baykar announced that its first production base in Anatolia will be established in Samsun’s Tekkeköy district, creating a regional high-tech and defense industry hub.

Bayraktar AKINCI successfully struck its target using ASELSAN’s LGK-82 laser-guided bomb. SSB President Haluk Görgün hailed the test as proof of Turkey’s advanced system integration capability.

Baykar’s AI-enabled KEMANKEŞ 1 mini cruise missile, fired from Bayraktar AKINCI, scored direct hits on ground targets after last week’s successful air-target kill.

Bayraktar TB-3 continues intensive sea-based trials from TCG Anadolu and recently guided a kamikaze USV to a pinpoint hit—experts say international interest is accelerating.

Baykar has finalized the acquisition of Italy’s historic aerospace firm Piaggio Aerospace, aiming to establish a strategic production and excellence hub in Europe.

Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that the Bayraktar TB2 UAV will support the search for a murder suspect near Limanowa, as hundreds of police continue operations.

Leonardo Chairman Stefano Pontecorvo expressed pride that Baykar chose them as a partner, announcing that joint projects starting with AKINCI, TB3, TB2, and Mirach will move toward European certification.
