NRTC to Acquire & License Produce Drones From Türkiye

[Toxic]

Isn't a problem to buy from whoever.

But FPV is a rather simple product, Ukraine does these in basement.

This isn't just a deal to purchase drones, this company will set up production facilities in Pakistan for production of these FPVs + the heavy lift helicopter drones

I know, still mostly FPV.
Production facilities - assembly line using imported components, 3D printer etc.

Can you imagine what 100,000 drones would do to Indian bunkers and artillery positions in Kashmir.

Even if only 1 in 10 actually hit their target.

Don't think hardware only, althought here too - these drones are said to be more resilient to EW and jamming.

Think software, which may require more time to develop and perfect.

And of course, why do it all when you can just licence produce from one of your closest and most reliable allies.

More likely used against Afghanistan, but I can see the potential.

Good! As long as we get them. ;-)

NRTC has a history of corruption done by top Bureaucrats running the organization.
Hope someone is overwatching this deal.
Too many previous projects went in the gutter due to mismanagement and corruption at NRTC

Taliban have recently declared Indian ancestry . So an attack on Afghanis is an attack on India .

I think due to mecca agreement and mix of things like not all eggs in one basket turkey was the likely one after china so there is no surprises turkey technology is getting better and better each passing day also who knows we got some excellent discounted deal on this one also tot local production is included.

That agreement brought $ and this the first purchase.

Not really.

They will used against Indian military.

Merküt FPV Kamikaze Drones	100,000	$500 – $800	$50M – $80M	Military-grade FPVs with thermal/night optics and automated proximity detonation cost more than basic commercial FPVs, though bulk volume lowers unit price.
Deli-2 / Deli-S Loitering Munitions	500	$15,000 – $30,000	$7.5M – $15M	Tactical fixed-wing kamikaze drones with electro-optical seekers and 2–3 kg warheads fall into the lower-end tactical loitering munition bracket.
Alpin Rotary UAS	10	$500,000 – $1,000,000	$5M – $10M	Heavy unmanned helicopters capable of carrying a 200 kg payload require expensive avionics, propulsion, and ground control links.
Dumrul Rotary UAS	25	$50,000 – $100,000	$1.25M – $2.5M	Compact tactical reconnaissance rotorcraft with low-acoustic signatures and thermal sensors.
Korgan Autonomous Stations	250	$15,000 – $30,000	$3.75M – $7.5M	Automated "drone-in-a-box" docking, charging, and surveillance ground platforms.
ToT, Licensing & Local Assembly	Package	—	$10M – $20M	Covers manufacturing tooling, training, intellectual property licensing, and spare parts for local production in Pakistan.

Platform / System	Operational / Flight Range	Control / Communication Radius	Endurance	Notes
Merküt FPV Kamikaze Drone	8 km	8 km	20 min	Designed for short-range tactical strikes; can also be deployed from larger drones like the Alpin-2 to extend reach.
