Turkey’s Suicide Drone: A New Technology to Evade Radars
Rokna Political Desk: Turkey has unveiled its new suicide drone “TALAY,” which, with its capability to fly close to the water surface, a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and the use of artificial intelligence, has become an advanced option for maritime operations.
The TALAY suicide drone flies near the water surface by utilizing the “ground effect” phenomenon and can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour. This drone operates at a distance of 30 centimeters from the water surface, thereby remaining undetected by radars.
The new Turkish drone, powered by an electric motor, has a payload capacity of 30 kilograms, a flight endurance of up to three hours, and is equipped with an AI-based flight control system.
This drone is designed for use in coastal and maritime operations and is optimized for combat against ships or port infrastructure.
TALAY was showcased for the first time at the “IDEF 2025” exhibition in Istanbul. In its presentation, reference was made to its capability for low-cost engagement against coastal fortifications, the possibility of conducting mass attacks (swarm tactics), and the disruption of standard defenses through radar-evading flight.
