Türkiye’s most advanced and sophisticated drone, the Bayraktar Akıncı unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), conducted a firing test with a domestically developed Precision Guidance Kit (HGK). This marks the first launch of the HGK from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
The kit was developed by the Defense Industries Research and Development Institute (SAGE) of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK), and the Baykar-manufactured drone fired HKG-82 during the test.
Departing from Akıncı Flight Training and Test Center in the northwestern province of Tekirdağ’s Çorlu district, Akıncı took off with the HKG-82 ammunition. Bayraktar Akıncı’s HGK-82 ammunition struck the target with remarkable precision.
Bayraktar Akıncı UCAVs, which entered the inventory with a ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Aug. 29, 2021, are currently actively used by the security forces in operational duties.

Bayraktar TB3 UAV, Baykar’s indigenous and original aircraft, successfully completed its first flight test with the indigenous electro-optical system ASELFLIR-500 – the best in its class.
The Bayraktar TB3 UCAV took to the world stage as part of NATO's Steadfast Dart 2026 exercise. Taking off autonomously from TCG ANADOLU's short runway, Bayraktar TB3 scored direct hits on surface targets with a dual salvo MAM-L strike during a live-fire exercise in the Baltic Sea, successfully completing its first operational demonstration abroad.
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev on Wednesday received the chief executive officer and technology officer of leading Turkish defense company Baykar.
