Turkish tech firm Robit Technology has developed a new multipurpose kamikaze drone called Azab with a long-range flight distance.

The delta-winged platform, which has a high payload capacity, passed all flight tests successfully.

Firing tests of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are planned to be carried out in the near future.

We have done all the flight tests. We move on to ammunition tests. We will carry out ammunition tests in the coming months, Selçuk Fırat, product director at Robit Technology, told Anadolu Anadolu Agency (AA).

The ammunition tests are expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year, Fırat said.


We are ready for production. We will be able to meet future orders, he added.

Noting that different types of warheads can be integrated with the Azab drone, Fırat said it has two versions with wingspans of 2 meters (6.5 feet) and 1.5 meters.

Azab with a 2-meter wingspan can carry up to a 15-kilogram (33-pound) payload, he said.

The device can be deployed in various modes, such as throw-and-forget, free-roam, or with the assistance of an operator who can direct Azab toward the target using its camera from a range of 200 kilometers. The device can also directly reach and destroy the target with the GPS coordinates provided.
