At a ceremony held in the presence of President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Meloni, the documents of the agreement signed in March — which foresees joint UAV production in Italy— were officially exchanged.

Türkiye’s indigenous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Bayraktar Akinci and Bayraktar TB2, took to the skies on Wednesday following a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Istanbul to assist in coordination efforts.

Bayraktar TB3, the first UCAV in aviation history capable of taking off and landing on a short-runway vessel, has successfully completed four sorties aboard the TCG Anadolu as part of the “Fully Autonomous Takeoff and Landing Tests from Short-Runway Vessel” held in the Gulf of Saros.

Bayraktar TB2 becomes first UCAV to perform autonomous spin recovery.
