Japan Tests Turkish TB2 and Israeli Heron-2 Drones In Parallel TurDef
As part of a larger assessment of its regional military policy, Japan is looking at both Heron-2 and Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles at the same time.
Japan is testing the Heron-2 (Heron MK II) and the Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles from Israel and Turkiye at the same time to improve its military capabilities. The Japan Self-defence Forces are looking at both platforms for operational performance, range, payload capacity, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, according to a Mainichi Shimbun story from August 13, 2025.
TurDef has previously reported the Heron MK II tests but the Mainichi Shimbun’s article adds new details.
