He said that the drone is capable of detecting targets that cannot be seen with the naked eye, intercepting air targets and bombing land targets.
And Turkish Defense Minister Ismail Demi announced that providing the Turkish army with these strike drones allows reducing pressure on manned warplanes.
It is reported that the Acinci reconnaissance drone wing sold 20.6 meters, its weight at takeoff was 4.5 tons, and the stay in the air was 24 hours.
The drone was equipped with a network radar, 6 electronic computers, artificial intelligence, and 6 carriers with 1,350 kg of payload.
The drones can use air-to-air missiles and float bombs designed to bomb land targets.
The drone is equipped with Ukrainian-made E-450T turbine engines.
The drone made its first flight in December 2019. Its second prototype underwent tests in 2020 when it climbed to a height of 12 km.
