Turkish Baykar Drone Swarm Puts 10 Loitering Munitions on Target in a Single Salvo

Baykar demonstrated a coordinated swarm engagement at Ateş Serbest-2026 in Polatlı, with 10 SİVRİSİNEK loitering munitions separating from a larger formation and striking designated targets. Five K2 kamikaze UAVs worked through a ground-control link to coordinate a swarm of 20 SİVRİSİNEK weapons during the exercise. The demonstration combined autonomous formation flight, target assignment and precision attack, alongside other Baykar platforms performing reconnaissance and joint-fire tasks. The event was an exercise demonstration of linked unmanned systems and munitions, without an accompanying announcement of a new production contract, delivery quantity or operational deployment schedule.
