In a groundbreaking development for military aviation, Turkey has introduced a next-generation stealth drone designed to fly just 9 feet above the ocean surface, enabling it to evade radar detection and conduct precision strikes.
The drone, reportedly developed by Turkish defense manufacturer Baykar Technologies, can reach speeds of 200 km/h (124 mph) while maintaining ultra-low flight paths over water. This low-altitude capability, combined with advanced navigation systems, allows it to remain nearly invisible to enemy surveillance.
Equipped with silent propulsion technology, the drone is capable of executing surprise attacks with minimal acoustic signature. Its compact build and advanced AI guidance system make it suitable for naval operations, reconnaissance, and rapid-response missions.
Defense analysts say this innovation could redefine maritime warfare by offering unmatched stealth and speed in littoral zones. While Turkey has not disclosed the exact payload capacity, sources suggest it can carry precision-guided munitions and surveillance equipment.
The project reflects Turkey’s growing ambitions in the global defense market, following the international success of its Bayraktar TB2 drones.
