Türkiye unveils stealthy and lethal loitering munitions family Ahead of IDEF 2025

Turkish defence company Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi A.Ş. (MKE) is set to unveil its new family of loitering munitions at the IDEF 2025 exhibition. These systems are designed for low radar visibility, high precision, and long-range strike capabilities.

As reported by Caliber.Az, citing Defence Turk on social media platform X, the system is capable of being integrated into both land and naval platforms, combining reconnaissance, target detection, and destruction into a single unified solution.

Kamikaze drone variants:

  • Electric engine: 40 km range, 5 kg warhead

  • Turbine engine: 65 km range, 18 kg warhead

  • Jamming-resistant version: 40 km range, with optional radar seeker

Key features:

  • Man-portable launcher, low radar signature, and high hit accuracy

  • Jamming resistance, low-altitude flight, and domestically produced engine

  • Modular design, adaptable for both land and naval missions

With this system, MKE aims to provide Türkiye with a tactical edge in modern warfare.
