Turkish company Pasifik Teknoloji has named Pakistan's state-owned National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) as the customer in its three-year contract for 100,000 MERKÜT FPV kamikaze drones, in a filing with Turkey's Public Disclosure Platform. It said the contract was signed on 18 September.
The package also includes 10 ALPİN uncrewed helicopters, 25 smaller DUMRUL helicopter drones, 500 DELİ kamikaze systems and 250 KORGAN ground units for support and observation, with local assembly and production in Pakistan. When Pasifik announced a framework agreement in May, it described the buyer only as a friendly and allied country, and the final contract has half as many KORGAN units.
Pasifik says the MERKÜT, which a pilot steers with video goggles, can fly for 20 to 30 minutes and hit targets up to 8 km away. SAVX Teknoloji, 51% owned by Pasifik's subsidiary Titra Teknoloji, makes the drone, and Pasifik called the deal its first defence export.
