The ŞİMŞEK drone is under the wing of the ANKA strike UAV and can stay in the air for 45 minutes. The maximum flight range is 70 km.
It is designed to perform various tasks, in particular, it can be used as a supersonic target when testing domestic anti-missile and air defense systems.
The ŞİMŞEK drone, like the ANKA UAV, is manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries.
