Speaking to Candas Tolga Isik’s program on TV100, Baykar Technology leader Selcuk Bayraktar spoke about Turkiye’s defense industry moves.
Türkiye’s cutting-edge unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) Bayraktar Akıncı, bearing a Turkish defense giant Aselsan-made CATS camera, has test fired with an Aselsan laser guidance kit, hitting the target with pinpoint accuracy.
The Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV, an original aircraft indigenously developed by Baykar, successfully passed a series of firing tests against moving and fixed targets at sea. Bayraktar AKINCI destroyed its naval targets with its indigenous electro-optical system and indigenous mini smart munitions.
