Aselsan Boosts Akinci Drone's Strike Power With New Weapons
(MENAFN) Turkish defense company Aselsan on Wednesday unveiled an expanded family of precision-guided munitions designed for Baykar’s Akinci unmanned combat aircraft, broadening the drone’s strike capabilities.
The company said its Tolun “deep-strike munition family” is designed to deliver precision attacks across a range of operational conditions. Three variants were highlighted, each configured for different targets and battlefield requirements.
The Tolun I uses an impact fuze alongside a fragmentation warhead, while the Tolun F combines a proximity sensor with a fragmentation warhead.
The Tolun P is equipped with a programmable time fuze and a penetration warhead intended for hardened targets.
“Whenever, wherever, however we want,” Aselsan said in a social media post displaying all three munitions integrated with the Akinci.
Aselsan CEO Ahmet Akyol said the partnership between the two Turkish defense firms would strengthen precision-strike capabilities while delivering greater destructive power on the battlefield.
“The Tolun family continues to offer superior precision and high impact under all conditions with its diversifying capabilities,” Akyol said.
“With the multiplier effect of serial production, these capabilities will continue to be game-changing in the skies,” he added.
Developed by Baykar, the Akinci is capable of carrying a broad range of Turkish-made air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons. The platform is designed to conduct strategic strikes as well as a variety of other combat operations.
