Bayraktar drones will have missiles of the air-air class that can withstand Shahed-136

Bayraktar drunks produced by the Turkish company Baykar Defense will have air -air missiles. This was stated by the CEO of the company Haluk Bayractar.

“Soon our Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar Akıncı will have missiles of the air -air class. Not only for the defeat of drones, but also other enemy aircraft ... We are testing, ”Daily Sabah quotes him.

Baykar Defense signed a contract with Roketsan, the largest Turkish missile manufacturer. The companies agreed to integrate the Sungur anti -aircraft missile produced by Rocketsan to combat drones. According to Rocketsan general manager Murat Ikinchi, it is "reliable ammunition, especially against moving goals, such as helicopters and drones." He stated that the use of Sungur as a missile of the air -air class “will change the rules of the game”.

These missiles will also allow Ukraine to resist the Iranian drones of the Shahed-136, which Russia uses. According to Vladimir Zelensky, she used about 400 of these UAVs, 60–70% of them were shot down by the Armed Forces. One of the most massive attacks by drones was committed on October 17. In the Shevchenkovsky district of Kyiv, four people were killed, three were hospitalized, several people received mild injuries.
