First Aksungur UAV Delivery to Turkish Navy

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) delivered the first Aksungur medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV to the Turkish Navy for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), maritime patrol, and strike missions. The multirole UAV, derived from the Anka series, features a high payload capacity of up to 750kg, twin PD-170 engines for over 50 hours endurance, and maritime-specific payloads like SAR/GMTI-ISAR and sonobuoy pods. This procurement enhances the Turkish Navy's unmanned aerial capabilities for naval operations, supporting Turkey's push for domestically produced advanced UAV systems.
