According to Baykar, the aircraft also relayed the communications used by operators to control the two drones launched during the test.
On November 4, 2026, Baykar announced a test of the Bayraktar TB2 carrying 16 Skydagger FPV drones. According to the Turkish manufacturer, two were launched during the flight and hit their designated targets. The trial evaluates a new role for the TB2: carrying smaller aircraft and providing the communications link needed to control them.
According to the statement, the TB2 took off from the Keşan Flight Training and Test Center in Edirne province and headed to the test area. The company reported launching two drones; it did not state that all 16 were released during the same mission.
