Baykar to Establish TB2 Production Facility in Mongolia TurDef

According to a report by Kyrgyzstan-based AKIPress, Baykar is planning to set up a production facility for TB2 UAVs in Mongolia near the capital, Ulaanbaatar.
The claim is based on statements made by Mongolian Defence Minister Byambatsogt Sandag during a visit to Turkiye with Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa. The Minister mentioned that the construction of the UAV production facility would commence shortly. The announcement was reportedly made in an interview with Television Channel 25, a Mongolian private television channel. AKIPress stated that Turkish Minister of National Defence Yaşar Güler is expected to attend the facility’s opening ceremony.

Baykar KALKAN VTOL UAV Breaks New Endurance Record TurDef
KALKAN VTOL UAV of Baykar, developed for ISR operations, has broken its endurance record at eight hours during its maximum endurance flight test.

The previous maximum endurance was given as seven hours. Changes to control systems or fuel tanks might have allowed the new endurance. Four vertical electric engines power KALKAN for take-off and landing, plus an 18-hp internal combustion engine from Erin Motor for normal flight.

Thanks to VTOL capability, KALKAN was developed for ISR to be used by bases, artillery units, and potentially warships without requiring a runway or catapult.

KALKAN UAV can use various electro-optical systems including Baykar's self-developed BG-160, BG-180, and BG-220.

BG-160, weighing 2.4 kg, was developed in day and thermal configurations with 1920x1080 px and 640x512 px resolutions, respectively. The thermal configuration was created in response to a request from Turkish Special Forces. Both versions of BG-160 feature a laser rangefinder with a range of three kilometres, a designator, and a coordinate feed to assist artillery units.

BG-180 day electro-optic with a weight of four kilograms has increased laser designation range to five kilometres.

The BG-220, weighing about 7 kg, is the most capable option, carrying day and MWIR optics simultaneously. The laser designation range is also longer, at seven kilometres.

Die türkische Rüstungsindustrie ist seit Jahren im Aufschwung: Von Drohnen über Kampfjets bis hin zu Kriegsschiffen und Fliegerabwehrkanonen – es gibt mittlerweile kaum mehr Verteidigungsgüter, die nicht im Land hergestellt und zunehmend auch exportiert werden.


Der „Global Firepower Index” (GFP) bewertet 145 Länder nach ihrer militärischen Stärke. Seit Jahren stehen die USA, Russland und China auf den ersten Plätzen, im aktuellen Ranking folgen Indien, Südkorea, Großbritannien, Frankreich und Japan. So weit, so erwartbar. Auf Platz neun dann allerdings eine Überraschung: Noch vor Italien (10.), vor der Atommacht Pakistan (12.), vor Deutschland (14.), Israel (15.) und Polen (21.) ist die Türkei in den Kreis der militärisch potentesten Länder der Welt aufgestiegen.

Erreicht hat das Land diese Topplatzierung mit jahrzehntelangen massiven Investitionen in seine Streitkräfte. Profitiert hat davon neben der Armee aber auch die lokale Rüstungsindus­trie. Mit Konzernen wie Baykar, STM und Otokar ist „made in Türkiye” im Verteidigungsbereich längst weltweit bekannt. Die Branche umfasst national mittlerweile mehr als 2.000 Unternehmen mit knapp 100.000 Beschäftigten. Sie liefern ihre Produkte in 170 Länder und neben Aselsan (Platz 42) zählt das Branchenmedium Defence News in einer aktuellen Übersicht auch Turkish Aerospace Industries (50.), Roketsan (71.), Makine ve Kimya Endustrisi (84.) und Askeri Fabrik ave Tersane Isletma (94.) zu den 100 global größten Rüstungs­unternehmen.

Baykar Chooses Morocco as the Next Location for Production TurDef
Following the ventures for production in Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Mongolia, Baykar has picked Morocco as the next production location outside of Turkiye.

Morocco-based Le Desk news agency reported the new off-country production location of Baykar. As Baykar is a prominent player in the Africa section of the UAV/UCAV market, the new production facility will strengthen its standing in the continent. Morocco is among the customers of the Bayraktar TB2 armed UAV.

Production in an African country means existing customers can take deliveries more quickly and with less transition time. This might also draw new customers as Baykar will have the closest proximity compared to its competitors.

Aside from the business standpoint, this will also strengthen the Turkish-Moroccoan relations with new job opportunities at the site. While a straightforward foreign military sale affects government-to-government relations, establishments and sales have an extra positive impact on public opinion.

He claimed that the sector's exports in January were $383.1 million, a 16 per cent rise over the same month last year.

Secretary Görgün said the sector has seen significant growth: "Defence and aviation industry exports have increased from $281 million to $383 million over the past two years (January 2023-2025), a 36 per cent increase." Last year, our military sector enterprises, now permitted to sell commodities globally, reached a big milestone by exporting products to 180 countries. We will soon resume our global efforts to increase the number of exporting firms, including huge corporations and small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). I want to convey my deepest congratulations to all of our defence industry enterprises and workers who have contributed, directly or indirectly, to the growth of our exports and the advancement of our nation. I hope that these successes will greatly help our country.

Defense News Army 2025
As reported by Sam Cranny-Evans on January 4, 2025, Aselsan's Gürz hybrid air defense system entered serial production in 2024, positioning itself as a potential alternative to the Russian Pantsir-S1. The Turkish system was first presented at international exhibitions such as the World Defense Show 2024 in Saudi Arabia and SAHA 2024 in Türkiye. The Gürz 150 is designed as a multi-effector air and missile defense system capable of autonomous operation, threat evaluation, and weapon assignment through its fire control algorithm, integrating advancements that may offer advantages over existing systems like the Pantsir-S1.

ASELSAN’s GERGEDAN 3-U jammer will allow UCAVs like AKINCI, ANKA, and AKSUNGUR to attack and record enemy communications as an onboard system.

Based on the technology of GERGEDAN (Rhino in Turkish) portable communication electronic warfare system, GERGEDAN 3-U is intended as an integrated system instead of a pod for UCAVs.

ASELSAN’s brochure shows ANKA, AKSUNGUR, and AKINCI UCAVs as compatible platforms with the placement of subsystems. GERGEDAN 3-U marks another expansion for Turkish UCAVs’ electronic warfare capabilities with communications coverage.

Indonesia Joins Forces with Turkish Defence Firms TurDef
The Strategic Defence Cooperation MoU signed between Turkiye and Indonesia includes local production of various products from Turkish firms.

Some of the defence products from Baykar, ASELSAN, and ROKETSAN will be locally produced in Indonesia as part of the Strategic Defence Cooperation MoU signed during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's official visit.

As Indonesia-based Tribun News reported, Baykar’s large-scale order consists of 60 sets of Bayraktar TB3 STOL UCAV and nine sets of AKINCI UCAV.

Thanks to its proven STOL capabilities, Bayraktar TB3 is believed to be used on future LHDs and island bases with shorter runways than dedicated airbases. Towards the end of 2024, the UCAV performed take-off and landing tests on the Turkish Navy’s TCG ANADOLU (L-400) LHD. An equally important feature of Bayraktar TB3 is the presence of SATCOM and a significantly longer range compared to Bayraktar TB2, considering the wide theatre these UCAVs have to operate in.

AKINCI, on the other hand, is more than likely to be used in maritime patrol missions in addition to armed ISR and strikes, thanks to its long endurance and capability to use a wide range of payloads.

In ROKETSAN's case, a joint venture (JV) will be formed to produce "anti-ship cruise missiles and multi-platform missiles" in Indonesia. While the former is pointing at the Atmaca anti-ship missile, the multi-platform missile is likely referring to the newer Çakır cruise missile that was test-fired from AKINCI UCAV. To support this claim, export agreements for both missiles were announced before President Erdoğan's visit.

Im Beisein der Staatspräsidenten Recep Erogan und Prabowo Subianto vereinbarten die Türkei und Indonesien während eines Treffens in Jakarta die Zusammenarbeit auf dem Gebiet unbemannter Fluggeräte. Im Rahmen des zwischen Baykar und dem indonesischen Rüstungsunternehmen PT Republikorp geschlossenen Joint-Ventures sollen die in der Türkei entwickelten Drohnen für die indonesischen Streitkräfte im eigenen Land gefertigt werden.

Der Auftrag umfasst bis zu 60 Exemplare der TB3, einem MALE-Fluggerät (Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance) sowie neun Akinci-Langstrecken-Drohnen (High-Altitude Long-Endurance, HALE). Die TB3 dient zu Aufklärungseinsätzen, kann aber auch Waffen tragen. Im vergangenen November erfolgten erste Versuche vom Deck des amphibischen Angriffsschiffs TCG Anadolu aus. Als Antrieb kommt der türkische Turbo-Dieselmotor PD170 zum Einsatz, der eine Flughöhe von fast 11.000 Meter ermöglicht.

Intended for larger platforms with significantly greater performance compared to ASELFLIR-500, ASELFLIR-600 will have nearly double the laser designation capability. ASELFLIR-500’s laser designation range is given as 35 km, which would mean the upcoming EO/IR will have a range of around 70 km.

The laser designation range getting this much push will allow laser-guided munitions at longer ranges and expand ISTAR capabilities for friendly units.
