Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

The manufacturer of “Bayraktarov” presented a new responsive wandering ammunition

Turkish and military drone manufacturer Baykar unveiled its latest development in Istanbul yesterday. The aviation industry exhibition TEKNOFEST 2023 presented a small-sized cruise missile designed for use from unmanned aerial vehicles.

The new ammunition was named Bayraktar Kemankes (translated from Turkish as “Old Ottoman Archer”) and can be launched from any Bayraktar UAV produced today in Turkey. The missile is designed to destroy the air defense of a potential enemy and other ground targets. The novelty of Baykar is an ammunition that drags and in many ways resembles the Russian Lancet.

The famous Bayraktar TB2 UAV is capable of carrying two such missiles at once due to its low starting weight of only 30 kg, of which 6 kg falls on the warhead. The length of the rocket is 1.73 meters, the wingspan of the folding wing is 1.25 meters.

The declared range of the “archer” is 200 km, but the effective control range does not exceed 50 km yet. The manufacturer promises to increase this figure to at least 100 km. The missile can barrage for up to 1 hour and reach speeds of up to 850 km/h. It is driven by a turbojet engine.

Bayraktar Kemankes is equipped with an electro-optical guidance head with a 36x camera, combined with a laser range finder and a two-way data transmission channel. The missile can move to the target both under the direct control of the operator and in automatic mode.
