MKE's TOLGA Dual 20 mm Close Air Defense System Signals Türkiye’s Shift Toward Layered Naval Drone Defense

 Türkiye has moved its TOLGA counter-drone system from land into naval point defense, with MKE demonstrating the dual 20 mm configuration from TCG Beykoz during TURNAs-2026 on 25 October 2026 against both aerial and maritime targets. MKE says the twin-revolver installation delivers a combined 3,200 rounds per minute and can use NATO-standard ammunition or fragmentation rounds developed for counter-drone missions, giving the Turkish Navy a high-rate-of-fire inner defensive layer against small UAVs and unmanned surface vessels during the short engagement windows typical of close-range attacks.  Read Full Defense News At This Link.
