Russia has made public announcements about the new generation of laser weapons they are deploying in Ukraine. Moscow claims its mobile system that can blind orbiting satellites and destroy any drone.
“Their ranges are limited so if your sensory and munition range is longer, they are not going to be effective,” the brothers emphasize. They believe the new Russian systems will be ineffective against the drones they are putting in the air.
Baykar is also working on a TB3, which has foldable wings. And it can take off or land on short-runway aircraft carriers.
“If you look at the longer time horizon, we are working on taxi drones – for that we need to develop more higher-level autonomy technology – which is AI basically – but it will revolutionize how people will be transported in cities.”
