The development of the bomb was led by the Institute for Research and Development of the Defense Industry (SAGE) under the Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Turkey. The inclusion of these bullets in the armament of other Turkish drones is not excluded.
As you know, the Bayraktar TB2 drone has four suspension points – two on each wing – and can carry up to four bullets specially designed for drones – gliding bombs with laser targeting systems: MAM -L and MAM-C, developed by Roketsan.
According to the developer, the MAM-L can be equipped with three types of warheads, warhead weight-8-10 kg. The weight of the bullet is 22 kg, length – 1 meter, diameter – 160 mm. Range – 8 km.
The MAM-C gliding ammo is smaller and can carry two types of warheads. The weight of the MAM -C bullet is 6.5 kg, length – 970 mm, diameter – 70 mm. Range – 8 km.
It was previously reported that most drone operators in the Armed Forces of Ukraine are computer gamers. The skills and experience of the boys in video games are very easy to use in controlling attack drones.
