Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) has successfully conducted the first internal weapons bay munition launch from its ANKA III unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). The test involved the use of the domestically produced TOLUN munition developed by ASELSAN, launched at an altitude of 20,000 feet and a speed of 180 knots. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Turkish defense technology, demonstrating the operational capabilities and engineering prowess of the ANKA III. The internal weapons bay design is intended to reduce the aircraft's radar signature, enhancing its stealth capabilities.
