Bayraktar TB3 UCAV completed 100 successful sorties aboard Türkiye’s flagship TCG Anadolu. The latest trials featured AI-assisted, fully autonomous takeoff and landing systems, marking a new milestone in naval aviation history.

During the DENİZKURDU-2025 Exercise, two Bayraktar TB3 prototypes, PT-3 and PT-4, took off from TCG Anadolu and successfully struck their target with ROKETSAN’s MAM-L smart munition.

Baykar’s next-generation AI-powered UAV, the Bayraktar TB2T-AI, climbed to 37,096 feet during a test flight in Keşan, surpassing its previous record of 30,318 feet set in February 2025, and proving its high-altitude endurance capability.

Baykar and Italy’s defense giant Leonardo officially exchanged documents for their strategic cooperation agreement during the Turkey–Italy Intergovernmental Summit in Rome. The partnership aims to establish a joint venture focused on the European UAV market and integrated defense technologies.

Turkey is entering a new era in cruise missile technology with SOM, Çakır, Atmaca, Kemankeş, and the mysterious Gezgin. These systems enhance UAV strike capability and strengthen the nation’s deterrence.

Turkey’s unmanned fighter jet Bayraktar KIZILELMA successfully completed the AB-Based Maneuver System Identification Test in Çorlu, demonstrating high-speed agility with its afterburning engine configuration.

Türkiye’s domestically developed Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA has surpassed 100,000 flight hours, marking a major milestone in national aviation and expanding its global operational footprint.

BAYKAR’s acquisition of Piaggio Aerospace and partnership with Leonardo signal Europe’s intent to collaborate with Türkiye in the S/UAV sector to avoid being left behind.
