One of these days SSM needs to tell our state companies to focus on their core business and not to compete with each other.

Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar has purchased Italy’s Piaggio Aerospace, reflecting Baykar’s growing global ambitions while marking a timely rescue for the troubled Italian aircraft producer. The deal, which was announced on Friday by Italy’s industry ministry, follows six years of Italian state management at Piaggio after it went into receivership in 2018.

They should've shown the result as well, the video beats its own point without it.

See, far more effective video. This will be a good addition to our arsenal, although I would love to see them adapt Wasp warhead as well (since this was most likely an M72 warhead). It would make a far better anti-personnel option than just a claymore imo.

Not really, it's just an ad. Not only Aselsan's turrets can already do this (auto target tracking, but also it is far easier to hit a drone going on a straight line instead of coming at you, full speed and trying to dodge.

By the way, Aselsan's Stamp system has been able to track automatically since 2005. I used it when i been at IDEF2005 and locked indian Dhruv helicopter while it conduct air show, also i open fire but unfortunately there was no ammo

Really cool with the water and 7 m depth but can it move submerged or just stay submerged?

Got one poisonous arrowhead for you all;

Is it just me but Süper Şimşek and SST projects seem to go under the radar, or rather be on hold or on verge of being cancelled since Kemankes family have been 'released' to media?

We know SST have been fired several times during supersonic trials. Super Simsek mock-up seemed far more ready than Kemankes-2 back in the day. And in between, TEI announced of delivering a particular TJ to Baykar, so not thinking that Super Simsek or SST awaits for an engine.

Has anyone noticed any progress or any media releases on Super Simsek and SST?

Spot on! I've been wondering about Şimşek's status too.
On the other hand, didn't hear much more of Kemankes too except the second version briefly.

I could swear there used to be a page about it on TAI's new projects page but there isn't one, am I misremembering or is it purged?
