Turkey has created its own FPV drone and named it MERKÜT
Turkish company SAVX Technology has presented a new FPV drone, MERKÜT, which has been developed over eight months. After a demonstration at SAHA EXPO 2024, it is ready for use.
Here's What We Know
The MERKÜT FPV drone has a flight time of up to 20 minutes and a range of up to 8 km. It is equipped with guided fragmentation munitions, the warhead of which contains about 950 impact elements.
The operator can adjust the blast distance from 20 cm to 5 metres thanks to an integrated proximity sensor that automates the last phase of the mission. This improves operator safety and engagement efficiency.

The company is also working on new versions of ammunition, including armour-piercing munitions, and is exploring the use of fibre optics to reduce the impact of electronic warfare.
