Turkish Bayraktar TB2 Combat Drone Carries 16 FPV Kamikaze Drones and Hits Targets in Flight Test
Baykar has tested a Bayraktar TB2 carrying 16 Skydagger first-person-view attack drones, releasing two of them to strike designated targets during a flight announced November 4. The aircraft launched from the Keşan Flight Training and Test Center in Türkiye and relayed communications between operators and the released drones. The configuration uses the TB2 as both an airborne carrier and a communications node, extending the air-launch concept previously demonstrated from the smaller KALKAN UAV. Baykar did not disclose the Skydagger variant, release altitude, engagement distance, warhead or target type, and the event remains a flight demonstration rather than a reported operational deployment.
