ANKA III ADDS ANOTHER CAPABILITY WITH SUCCESSFUL LGK-82 MUNITION TEST

Designed by Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) engineers and developed with domestic resources, the ANKA III Air-to-Ground Mission Aircraft has gained another capability by successfully completing a test firing with ASELSAN’s LGK-82 munition.

The test was conducted on March 13, 2025, at the Acıkır Test Range. As part of the mission, ANKA III took off from Mürted Air Base, while another ANKA UAV in the air designated the target. With its tailless delta-wing design, ANKA III reached the target area and released the LGK-82 munition from a distance of 10 kilometers, successfully completing the test.

During the mission, ANKA III achieved an altitude of 25,000 feet and a speed of 200 knots. This test once again demonstrated its payload capacity. The 280 kg ASELSAN LGK-82 munition, with its high-precision laser guidance system, has further enhanced ANKA III’s operational capabilities.
