In Turkey, the next flight tests of weapons for attack drones were carried out. This time we are talking about the IHA-230 supersonic air-launched missile.. It was launched from the Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA high-altitude strike drone.
The peculiarity of the rocket is, that she is long-range. The IHA-230 can engage targets up to 140 km. At least, these are the numbers voiced by its developers.
The missiles during the tests were fixed under both wings of the Turkish drone. During the flight, the tail of the missiles rotated from air currents., what was filmed from multiple cameras, which were placed on the drone itself.
One of the missiles during the flight of the drone came off the mounts and headed towards the target. The very moment of hitting the target (if the test task was this) the Turkish side decided not to demonstrate.
In this way, the Turkish side continues the active development of its unmanned aircraft. As is known, Türkiye has previously announced plans to build a plant for the production of drones in Ukraine. Then several times it was stated, what, perhaps, plans will not be implemented. However, the company, who announced these plans, clearly not going to give them up..
