Turkish defense firm Baykar has developed a new AI-powered loitering munition called MIZRAK, which features a strike range of 1,000 kilometers.

The name MIZRAK, which translates to spear in Turkish, was chosen to reflect the weapon’s aerodynamic profile and its capability for high-precision strikes.

The system is available in two primary configurations, which are distinguished by their specific warhead arrangements.

One of these options is a dual-warhead variant that carries a 40-kilogram explosive payload designed for maximum destructive impact.
