Turkey will soon begin mass production of Akinci drones, said Baykar's Chief Technical Officer, Selcuk Bayraktar.

Speaking live on CNN Turk, Bayraktar said the company will soon begin mass production of drones, which are expected to be transferred to the Turkish Armed Forces this year.

Akinci is equipped with local active electronically scanned antenna radar as well as air-to-air missiles, and can also launch several types of locally produced ammunition.
