Aksungur is developed by Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI). It is based on the Anka drone. Development of the new drone took about a year and a half. The first batch was delivered to the Turkish army at the end of 2021.

The unmanned aerial vehicle can be used for surveillance, reconnaissance and attack on the enemy. Turkish forces recently adopted two Aksungur drones.
The drone has a satellite control system and can fly for 50 hours. Its maximum flight altitude is more than 7,000 metres. Aksungur uses L-UMTAS and Cirit missiles, TEBER-81, TEBER-82, KGK, HGK-3, MAM-C and MAM-L bombs to hit enemy targets.
