Türkiye’s Bayraktar AKINCI unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) developed by BAYKAR Technologies, has successfully completed a live-fire test with the LGK-82 laser-guided bomb developed by ASELSAN, according to official statements released on Tuesday.

The test confirmed the platform’s ability to conduct high-altitude, long-endurance missions while delivering precision-guided munitions. The strike reportedly hit the designated target with high accuracy.

Haluk Görgün, President of the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB), said on social media that the test demonstrated the integration capabilities of Türkiye’s defense sector. “This successful hit, achieved with millimetric precision, is a clear reflection of our engineering vision and system integration competencies,” he noted.

ASELSAN General Manager Ahmet Akyol also commented on the test, referring to the LGK-82 as the “sharp blade” of AKINCI, while Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar described the result simply as “Direct hit.”

The LGK-82 is a laser guidance kit designed to enhance the accuracy of conventional general-purpose bombs. Its integration with the AKINCI marks another step in Türkiye’s efforts to equip domestically produced unmanned platforms with precision strike capabilities.
