Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Turkey has announced a new generation of kamikaze drones that analysts say may surpass the capabilities of Iran’s widely used Shahed models.
The Turkish Defence Ministry revealed the drones during a press briefing in Ankara, noting that the new aircraft feature advanced guidance systems and higher payload capacities. Officials said the design could allow the drones to carry larger warheads and achieve longer ranges.
The development comes amid growing tensions in the region, as both Turkey and Iran continue to expand their unmanned aerial vehicle arsenals for potential use in future conflicts.
