Thinking about getting myself a tb2 too...

Just fan art. The TB-2 can operate with 4 Mam-Ls, but only two are highlighted here.
No there are 4, if you look carefully.

Any chance Turkey willing to provide loitering munitions besides drones? Have to look at what they have now. Just found that they can launch from small mortar platform, wonder if Turkey has taken it further than that.

Turkey has several kamikaze drones but i don’t think they will provide at this point as Turkey want both parties to negotiate for a ceasefire and give diplomacy a chance.

We can sum up the studies in this field into 3 main groups:
1- Tactical Mini drones with weapons (mortar, guided mini rocket, stabilized machine gun etc carrier mini platforms)
2- Tactical level kamikaze/loitering drones
3- Strategic level long range kamikaze/anti radiation loitering drones

There are about 10-15 different projects in the first two groups, and half of them are already in ready to use product form. At the forefront of tactical-level kamikaze drones firms is STM, which has been developing systems with simultaneous swarm attack capability. STM KARGU (not KARGI) as a rotary wing and STM ALPAGU as a fixed wing solution are the two leading product groups.

STM's 81mm Mortar carrier mini drone is BOYGA. Apart from STM, there are many other companies developing projects in this field. The SONGAR product family, the stabilized machine gun, guided rocket, mortar and grenade carrier mini-UAV solution of Asis company, is also a remarkable project.

Quite much companies continue to develop systems in this field. This field not consisting only drone studies, but also quite a variety of munition development activities are ongoing for these mini UAVs. For example, the 40mm mini rockets developed by Troy Teknoloji is one of the remarkable projects.With this munitions, it allows a rotary wing mini drone to carry 6 rockets with a maximum engagement range of 800+ meters.

The third group, open source information flow is very limited because it has strategic value. There is only information such as the name of the project, which company is running it. Lentatek (aka Vestel Savunma) KARGI. Also we know the engine to be used, TEI-PG50. KARGI is IAI Harpy 2(Harop) is an equivalent system. It is a specialized solution for suppressing enemy air defense systems. In addition to infantry-type modular loitering systems, there are also air-launched missile-type loitering systems.

In general, there are very important studies on full autonomy capabilities, autonomous attack determination, decision support systems, and swarm attack capabilities in Turkey. You can also find some of these projects in the forum archive. Therefore, the loitering/mini-UAV concept has an important place in these studies.

Never say never, Turkey is willing to provide more drones, wouldn't be surprise they send in loitering kamikaze versions while attempting a ceasefire, but I don't think that will lead to anything as long as neither side gets what they want.

Be good time to advertise your products with those loitering munitions if they are already in production. Seeing Ukraine beating back the Russians would make the Turkish military industries treated in high regard then what it is now.
