Then it turned round and flew home along its planned route.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is not how ballistic missiles are normally delivered. It is the sort of job that has historically needed a heavy bomber or a fast jet with a long tanker tail behind it. Baykar released the footage on 11 September, and it marks the first live firing of Roketsan&rsquo;s supersonic UAV-300 &mdash; the &Idot;HA-300 in Turkish service &mdash; from an unmanned aircraft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The aircraft was a Bayraktar Akinci, the high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned combat air vehicle that Baykar has been steadily turning into a flying weapons rack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;margin:26px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>The aircraft:<\/strong> Bayraktar Akinci, a HALE unmanned combat aerial vehicle designed, developed and produced by Baykar<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>The weapon:<\/strong> Roketsan UAV-300 (&Idot;HA-300) supersonic air-launched ballistic missile<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>The shot:<\/strong> A maritime target struck with a direct hit more than 250 km (155 miles) away, off the coast of Sinop<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Route:<\/strong> Took off from the Corlu Flight Training and Test Centre, Tekirdag; transited to the Black Sea test area; returned to Corlu<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Guidance:<\/strong> GNSS and inertial navigation in mid-course, television seeker in the terminal phase<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Footage released:<\/strong> 11 September 2026, by Baykar and chief technology officer Selcuk Bayraktar<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>In service:<\/strong> The first three Akinci entered service with the Turkish Armed Forces on 29 August 2021<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Drone With a Ballistic Missile Under Its Wing<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The distinction matters. An air-launched ballistic missile is not a cruise missile: it climbs, arcs and comes down steeply and fast, which makes it far harder to intercept than something flying a flat subsonic profile. Roketsan designed the UAV-300 to reach beyond 500 kilometres depending on the launch platform&rsquo;s flight profile &mdash; the higher and faster you release it, the further it goes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Guidance is a two-stage affair. GNSS and inertial navigation fly it through the mid-course, then a television seeker takes over for the terminal run, which is what allows a direct hit on a specific ship rather than an area effect. Roketsan lists its intended targets as radars, armoured vehicles, air-defence systems and command centres &mdash; the high-value, heavily defended things you would rather not send a crewed aircraft near.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Baykar chief executive Haluk Bayraktar has described the UAV-300 as the longest-range domestically developed missile yet fired from an indigenous Turkish platform. That claim is his, and worth noting as such, but the range figure demonstrated in the test is not in dispute: the target was over 250 kilometres out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/roketsan-missile-display-teknofest.jpg\" alt=\"A Roketsan missile on display\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Roketsan, the Turkish state-linked missile house behind the UAV-300, displays its munitions at Teknofest.

On 9 September, Baykar reported a firing test of the smaller &Idot;HA-122 &mdash; and in that test the Akinci was already carrying a UAV-300 on the wing without launching it. The aircraft used, the prototype PT-5, flew with two UAV-122 rounds on the middle hardpoints and the UAV-300 on the innermost pylon of the starboard wing. Two days later, the big one came off the rail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2098403938101817521&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The UAV-300 joins an already crowded weapons list. The Akinci has been cleared with the MAM-L and MAM-T guided bombs, TOLUN, the TEBER-81, the Cakir cruise missile, the Eren loitering munition, and the UAV-122 and UAV-230 supersonic missiles. Each integration widens the set of jobs the aircraft can be sent to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;An ALBM-capable UCAV could potentially provide a lower-cost complement to manned heavy strike and multirole fighters.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>The Aviationist<\/strong> &mdash; Defence aviation publication, reporting on the 11 September test<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why Anyone Outside Turkey Should Care<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The commercial context is what gives this test weight. Baykar finances its projects from its own resources, and in 2025 it remained the world&rsquo;s largest exporter in the unmanned aerial vehicle segment, with an export volume of around $2.2 billion and roughly 90 per cent of revenue coming from abroad. It has signed export agreements with 39 countries &mdash; 36 covering the Bayraktar TB2 and 16 covering the Akinci.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>So this is not a one-off national capability. It is a capability with a price list. A country that cannot afford a bomber fleet, or the tankers and crews to support one, can now plausibly buy a turboprop drone that lobs supersonic ballistic missiles a couple of hundred kilometres. That is a meaningful shift in who gets to hold distant, defended targets at risk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Baykar&rsquo;s own footage of the shot, showing the missile coming off the wing and the terminal seeker view of the hit:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_vB91mVMFE0\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>What is the UAV-300 missile that the Akinci fired?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The UAV-300, designated &Idot;HA-300 in Turkish service, is a supersonic air-launched ballistic missile developed by the Turkish manufacturer Roketsan. Roketsan states it can reach ranges beyond 500 kilometres depending on the flight profile of the launching aircraft. It uses GNSS and inertial navigation during mid-course flight and a television seeker in the terminal phase, and is intended for targets such as radars, armoured vehicles, air-defence systems and command centres.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How far away was the target in the Akinci test?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The maritime target was more than 250 kilometres (about 155 miles) from the launching aircraft, and was struck with a direct hit. The test took place over the Black Sea off the coast of Sinop, after the Akinci took off from the Corlu Flight Training and Test Centre in Tekirdag. The aircraft then returned to Corlu along its planned route.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Was this the first time an Akinci fired a ballistic missile?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Yes. Baykar released footage on 11 September 2026 of what was the first live firing of the UAV-300 air-launched ballistic missile from the Akinci. The missile had already been carried on the aircraft during an earlier test on 9 September, when the smaller &Idot;HA-122 was fired and the UAV-300 remained on the wing unlaunched.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What is the difference between an air-launched ballistic missile and a cruise missile?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A cruise missile flies a relatively flat, powered, usually subsonic path to its target, like a small pilotless aircraft. An air-launched ballistic missile is released from an aircraft, climbs, then follows a steep arcing trajectory and arrives at very high speed. The steep, fast terminal approach makes an ALBM considerably harder to intercept than a subsonic cruise missile.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What other weapons can the Bayraktar Akinci carry?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The Akinci has been integrated with a broad set of Turkish munitions, including the MAM-L and MAM-T guided bombs, TOLUN, the TEBER-81, the Cakir cruise missile, the Eren high-speed multi-purpose loitering munition, and the UAV-122 and UAV-230 supersonic missiles.
