Bayraktar KALKAN (510f0cf7-5684-5f06-9169-9c8025907e34)
The Bayraktar KALKAN is a Turkish vertical‑take‑off‑and‑landing (VTOL) unmanned combat aerial vehicle developed by Baykar Tech. Designed for surveillance, reconnaissance and light‑weight strike missions, the platform combines four electric motors with a single combustion engine, delivering up to six hours of endurance and a top speed of roughly 120 km/h. Its compact 5‑metre wingspan and 30 kg maximum take‑off weight allow operation from ship‑borne decks such as the TCG Anadolu’s drone‑carrying landing‑helicopter dock. With a 0.58 kg payload capacity, the KALKAN can carry precision munitions, providing Turkey’s forces with a flexible, autonomous, and VTOL‑capable combat UAV.
