Türkiye-based Pasifik Teknoloji has announced that it has signed a three-year agreement with Pakistan-based NRTC covering the sale of 100,000 MERKÜT FPV kamikaze UAVs and various unmanned systems…
Under the agreement, Pakistan will receive 100,000 MERKÜT FPV kamikaze UAVs, 10 ALPİN unmanned helicopters, 25 DUMRUL mini unmanned helicopters, 500 DELİ tactical kamikaze systems and 250 KORGAN autonomous ground support and surveillance systems.
Following the completion of testing and evaluation activities under the previously signed framework agreement, Pasifik Teknoloji has signed an agreement with Pakistan-based NRTC covering the supply, sales, distribution, and local assembly/production of the designated systems.
The agreement is expected to bring a wide range of unmanned platforms into the inventory of the Pakistan Army, including large numbers of FPV kamikaze UAVs, unmanned helicopter platforms, tactical loitering munitions and autonomous ground support systems.
The MERKÜT FPV kamikaze UAV has an endurance of 20 to 30 minutes and an operational range of up to 8 kilometres.
MERKÜT has an operational range of 8 km and a 20-metre effective radius, with a payload of 1,000 3 mm steel ball bearings.
MERKÜT offers effective mission capabilities through its high-safety fuze system and proximity sensor-based automatic detonation feature.
ALPİN is an unmanned helicopter system capable of carrying out predefined missions fully autonomously and transporting a payload of up to 200 kg, including fuel.
With its long flight endurance, thermal imaging and night vision cameras, the unmanned helicopter can perform various missions, including 24/7 surveillance operations.
The DUMRUL armed mini unmanned helicopter system is an electrically powered rotary-wing platform with a low acoustic signature, designed for short-range reconnaissance, surveillance and precision strike missions.
The platform can remain airborne for approximately 120 minutes, enabling extended reconnaissance and target-tracking missions while providing persistent aerial surveillance over the operational area…
