Somalia will reportedly receive an undisclosed number of Baykar’s Bayraktar Akıncı UCAVs, which have greater firepower than Bayraktar TB2 armed UAVs in use.
In a recent test, TB2 armed UAV was used as a communications relay for the Kalkan VTOL UAV, which was designed to perform ISR missions to extend coverage.
Following a series of ground tests for the afterburner mode, Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter’s third prototype, PT3, took flight utilising the afterburner.
Leonardo has published its avionics for Baykar’s UAV platforms, including EO/IR, radar, IRST, and electronic warfare systems, in its Industrial Plan 2025.
Baykar Bayraktar TB2’s UAVs enhanced variant, Bayraktar TB2T-AI, using a turbocharged engine, reached an altitude of 25500 ft in its third flight test.
The year 2024 ended with Baykar acquiring Piaggio Aerospace, but 2025 has begun with something on a larger scale: a joint venture between Baykar and Leonardo.
