"The deal with the NRTC includes: 100,000 Merküt (Mercury) first-person-view (FPV) kamikaze drones; 10 Alpin (Alpine) rotary UAS; 25 Dumrul rotary UAS; 500 Deli-2 and/or Deli-S loitering munitions; and 250 Korgan autonomous drone stations (the Merküt and Korgan are products of SAVX Teknoloji, a TİTRA subsidiary).

According to Pasifik Teknoloji, the terms of the agreement will be concluded in three years, while the “production and delivery of the ordered products will begin in the near future.” The final agreement was signed on 18 September 2026, following a series of field tests, evaluations, and training sessions that took place after a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in May 2026."

Good move. In contemporary with the need of times. We have seen thst Iran, Ukraine and new Yemen have redefined the modern warfare by successfully employing the missile and drone.
