The Bayraktar TB3 UCAV took to the world stage as part of NATO's Steadfast Dart 2026 exercise. Taking off autonomously from TCG ANADOLU's short runway, Bayraktar TB3 scored direct hits on surface targets with a dual salvo MAM-L strike during a live-fire exercise in the Baltic Sea, successfully completing its first operational demonstration abroad.

The inspirational life story of Baykar founder Özdemir Bayraktar has been brought to the screen in a new documentary entitled “Özdemir Bayraktar | An Akıncı Passed Through This World.” The documentary, featuring eyewitness accounts and previously unseen archival footage, is now streaming on Baykar’s YouTube channel and various digital platforms. A comprehensive book prepared as part of the same project has also been published simultaneously.

Baykar achieved $2.2 billion in exports in 2025, leading the global UCAV export market. The world’s largest UAV company generated 88% of its revenue from international sales last year. 

Bayraktar KIZILELMA, Baykar’s unmanned fighter aircraft renowned for its unprecedented achievements in global aviation history, has successfully completed a test flight focused on smart fleet autonomy. During the test conducted in Çorlu, KIZILELMA prototypes PT3 and PT5 carried out a formation flight with an autonomous combat pilot, supported by smart fleet algorithms. This marked the first time in the history of global aviation that two unmanned fighter aircraft performed a close formation flight autonomously.
