TUNGA-X did not forgive the enemy UAV! 300 kilometers per hour speed, 25 kilometers range

TUNGA-X, a fighter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by STM Defense Technologies Engineering and Trade Inc., successfully neutralized a representative enemy UAV by hitting it with full accuracy with radar and image guidance integration in the TURNAs-2026 Unmanned Naval Systems Exercise.

According to the statement made by STM, STM's Fighter UAV TUNGA-X, which took part in the TURNAs-2026 Unmanned Naval Systems Exercise carried out by the Turkish Naval Forces Command in the Gulf of Antalya and the Eastern Mediterranean, performed the interceptor mission against the representative enemy UAV element.

The system tracked its target in real time with radar and image guidance support and destroyed the enemy element in the air with a precise strike.

REACHES A SPEED OF 300 KILOMETERS PER HOUR

Designed specifically to protect critical facilities and military units against low-cost kamikaze UAV threats, TUNGA-X can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

The system, which can instantly monitor threats by working integrated with UAV detection radars, stands out with its image processing-based autonomous target tracking and precision strike capabilities. With these features, the Hunter UAV offers a cost-effective prevention solution against asymmetric air threats.

LAUNCHER-FREE VERTICAL TAKE-OFF CAPABILITY AND 25 KILOMETER OPERATION RANGE

TUNGA-X, which can take off from a wide variety of platforms thanks to its vertical take-off feature that does not require a launcher, can carry out its operations uninterruptedly during day and night conditions.

The system, which has a range of up to 25 kilometers in operations, aims to make a remarkable contribution to Türkiye's defense capabilities against unmanned aerial threats with its autonomous mission capabilities and advanced sensor infrastructure.
