TİTRA unveiled its new rotary-wing UAV Dumrul at VERTICON 2025. It can be armed with various light weaponry and controlled in first-person view (FPV).
Mavi Vatan defence magazine reports that Dumrul has completed its firing tests with three different weapons: ROKETSAN’s METE 40 mm laser-guided mini-missile, MKE MOD 128 Mortar Munition adapted for UAVs, and revolving 40 mm grenade launcher. The weapons are being exhibited alongside Dumrul.
Dumrul is smaller than Alpin and is electrically driven, unlike an internal combustion engine.
The UAV has an endurance of 30 minutes, a control range of 60 km, and a payload capacity of eight kilograms. An interesting part regarding control is the FPV control capability, which is well-known from the kamikaze UAVs used in the Russo-Ukrainian War. An armed UAV with FPV control might be advantageous in terms of workload, as movement is done by head motion, allowing for easier engagements. Additionally, Dumrul can automatically navigate towards a point designated by laser, which might work as a failsafe against electronic warfare or natural interferences.
