Roketsan and STM created the intelligent kamikaze drone ALPAGUT
It can be run with Bayraktar Akinci
Turkish companies STM and Roketsan have developed a new barrage ammunition. It is called ALPAGUT.
ALPAGUT is an intelligent kamikaze drone, both ground-based and air-based. Barrage ammunition can be launched from Aksungur, SIHA, Bayraktar Akinci and Bayraktar TB3 UAVs. The latter has not even been presented yet, by the way. It is possible that the source made a mistake, and it is about TB2.

Barrage ammunition is fixed under the wing in place of the missile. After launch, it spreads its wings and heads for the target. The drone is designed to destroy ground and sea radar equipment, communication equipment, electronic warfare equipment, light armored vehicles, ammunition depots, strongholds and enemy manpower.
The maximum launch range of ALPAGUT is 60 km. Barrage ammunition carries a warhead weighing up to 11 kg and can move at an altitude of 3.5 km. After detecting the target, it can follow it and fly in a circle at an altitude of 300-1500 meters. The maximum flight time is about 60 minutes.
