On 26 December 2025, Baykar announced via its official X account that the Bayraktar AKINCI unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) had successfully completed live munition firing tests with three Turkish-made precision weapons: the MAM-T smart munition, the LAÇİN-82 guidance kit and the TEBER-82 Winged Guidance Kit, all achieving what the company described as “bull’s eye” hits. Shared first on social media by Baykar, these firings confirm that AKINCI can now employ a broad family of Roketsan-guided munitions, from lightweight stand-off weapons to winged 500 lb class bombs. The tests come as Türkiye continues to consolidate its position in the UCAV domain, where indigenous drones and munitions are a central component of its deterrence posture and export strategy.
