S4 and S5 “Serial”?

Probably, that's what they usually do.

New Akıncı deliveries to Land Forces. It would be nice if we knew the configuration as well

What’s „Altariq“ missile/bomb? Never heard before.

Google still exists mate, it is apparently a guidance kit like our Teber, KGK etc, from UAE.

AKINCI UAV and HERON in the Air at the Same Time...

The Heron-type UAV, leased by Greece from Israel and having a regional impact range, is flying over the island of Crete.

The AKINCI UAV, belonging to Turkey and having a global impact range, is returning from its mission in Libya, 1,200 kilometers away from Turkey.

If we would take all of our answers by google, we would not need this forum anymore.

Something as simple as a name on a missile can easily be googled, that's the whole point. It's not a topic of discussion or speculation or analysis.

WOW (Good luck to our smaller adversaries)

K2 KAMİKAZE UAV
SİVRİSİNEK Intelligent Loitering Munition

Autonomous Swarm Flight Test

This new loitering munition has been used in Ukraine, I'm pretty sure of it. And it was used well over a year ago I think, I remember seeing the parts after it was shot down or just failed somehow and it had Baykar and some Pakistani parts I think.

Yes it was called "YIHA - III" I think

"— Autonomous swarm flight.
— AI-powered target detection and engagement.
— Operation in GPS-denied environments."

A few months back I mentioned Quadcopter swarms being launched from larger platforms as an effective way of destroying targets across a sprawling area such as an airbase, that would otherwise be difficult to effectively neutralize. We've seen this with the Iran - US/Israel war. Though Iran could target airbases, BMs and Shaheds aren't exactly optimal for targeting dozens of parked aircraft that are spread across such a large area. The Skydagger CEO mentioned that swarms of drones could be released by Baykar's larger platforms. This "AI-powered target detection and engagement" pretty much confirms it.

With the K2 and Sivrisinek additions, Our (unmanned) Secondary Air Force has become a something else. God forbid but if a conflict breakouts, they will cut someone's asses

Perfect name, mosquitos in the summer zzzzzzzzzz ahahah. Almost the same noise.

We first saw it in Syria in 2023 or early 2024 I think. It's been used in Syria, Libya, Kashmir, Ukraine, Somalia, Sahel. Already exported to multiple countries, no less than 6. We don't know much about it.

 

[Zafer]

The drone's name is Sivrisinek and while it means mosquito in English mosquito is not Sivrisinek's name. There is a well known helicopter brand overseas with the name Mosquito.

 

[MonteCarlo]

Most interesting concept I can think for K2 + Sivrisinek is that K2 can pass the data from it's vision based navigation + more redundant gnss to sivrisineks for ew resilient navigation and more importantly could identify and designate targets for sivrisineks with it's eo system. It would just be like using K2 as a bomb dropper but with way more ammunition than it can carry. In the end it can either return(since it has double the range) or do a kamikaze attack itself

Indonesia may join the TB3 deck party

At the SAHA EXPO launch, it will be strategically much more interesting to see how the K2's future launch/take-off techniques will be diversified and to what extent this platform will be 'utilized' by the Turkish Navy on floating platforms.

Baykar's Mızrak Smart Loitering Munition System is making its debut at #SAHA2026.

1,000+ km range | 7+ hours flight time
GPS-independent, AI-assisted guidance
Runway or RATO takeoff
Integrated communication with TB2, TB3, and AKINCI

There must be some unsung hero engines powering the smaller drones coming out recently, I hope we see some of them at the SAHA Expo in the coming weeks.
