Pakistan to manufacture Turkish drones on its own territory

Pakistan is set to begin local production of Turkish-made unmanned aerial vehicles.

TodayPress TV reports that Pakistan’s NRTC company has signed a three-year agreement with Türkiye’s TİTRA Technology for the procurement and joint production of unmanned aerial systems.

Under the agreement, Pakistan will acquire 100,000 Merküt FPV kamikaze drones, 10 Alpin and 25 Dumrul rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles, 500 Deli-2/Deli-S loitering munitions and 250 Korgan autonomous drone stations.

The deal covers not only the delivery of ready-made systems but also their local production and assembly in Pakistan.

The cooperation is expected to expand Pakistan’s defence industry capabilities in unmanned systems manufacturing and help reduce the country’s dependence on foreign suppliers.
