During EFES-2026’s night phase, kamikaze swarm drones, special forces, ATAK helicopters and KORKUT air defence systems successfully engaged targets.

Over the past five years, TAI has signed 14 contracts with 7 African nations, exporting ATAK helicopters, ANKA and AKSUNGUR UAVs, and HÜRKUŞ aircraft. Turkish air platforms are increasingly preferred for their reliability and operational capability.

TR Mekatronik’s newly developed 6-barrel 20mm gun, unveiled at IDEF 2025, will provide ATAK helicopters and air defense systems with massive firepower.

The Turkish Gendarmerie has released footage captured by a camera mounted on the barrel of an ATAK attack helicopter. The post emphasized, “This is not a video game — it’s the real ATAK in action.”

Türkiye’s indigenous T129 ATAK attack helicopter has been delivered to the Philippines, strengthening defense exports and expanding ATAK’s global presence.
