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.

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.
