Turkey will be the first country in the world to introduce a multi role UCAV in the form of the Bayraktar Akinci which is set to enter service this year. link This is a reasonably large drone capable of not just usual drone roles of ISTAR and limited precision strike but also air defence (courtesy of onbaoard radar and BVRAAMs) as well as long range strike with stand off 250 km= range cruise missiles.
Turkey is also working on a jet powered supersonic UCAV called MIUS set to fly in 2023.
With Turkey losing access to F-35 as well as other western jets due to deteriorating relations, it's clearly looking at UCAVs to replace fixed wing aircraft. |
