According to SavumaTR, a Turkish defense media, despite difficult weather conditions for using laser seeker munitions, the test was a success owing to the combined efforts of AKINCI and TB2 UCAVs. During the firing test, the Bayraktar TB2 performed laser designation on the target, and AKINCI dropped the TEBER-82 from a height of 20,000 feet. The bomb dropped by AKINCI rode the laser beam of the TB2 drone.
The event marked the first sea-target engagement of AKINCI unmanned aircraft, which is expected to enter service for the Turkish Navy in the following period. Here is the video of the event:

The Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV, which Baykar develops indigenously and originally as part of the AKINCI Project under the leadership of the Defense Industry Agency, successfully completed 50,000 flight hours.
"Baykar is forging ahead like an icebreaker, creating a path" for more Turkish business with the Kingdom, CEO Haluk Bayraktar told Breaking Defense.
Turkey’s cutting-edge unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) Akıncı successfully passed another test late Thursday, using munitions domestically developed by Roketsan.
