The drill was conducted using defense firm Baykar’s Bayraktar Akinci drone. The guided munition uses domestic technologies designed to provide a force multiplier against heavily armored and concrete-protected targets. The Tolun-P offers enhanced operational efficiency over conventional weapons. It was recently added to the 250-pound class of munitions. The munition uses the Sadak-4T multiple-payload pod, which can be loaded in multiple units onto platforms such as the Akinci unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It allows pilots to destroy multiple strategic targets in a single salvo using electronic fuses that can be programmed from the cockpit within seconds. The Tolun-P can penetrate targets using high kinetic energy and a specialized nose design to maximize structural damage, allowing it to breach fortified underground shelters, command centers, and armored hangars. Aselsan said the Tolun-P can penetrate up to one meter (or around 39.4 inches) of reinforced concrete. The Tolun family of products also includes the laser-guided full-power munition Tolun-L, an electronic warfare variant of Tolun-EW, the full-rate guide munition Tolun-F, the infra-red seeking munition Tolun-IIR, and the ground-launched Tolun-S.
