Three Turkish unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), including an Akinci and two Bayraktar TB2 drones, successfully landed on and took off from a highway during an emergency drill.

Axar.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency, that the exercise took place on the Manisa-Balikesir Highway and demonstrated the drones' ability to operate when conventional runways are unavailable.

The three aircraft took off from separate bases: a Bayraktar TB2 from Kesan, an Akinci from Corlu, and another TB2 operated by the Turkish Land Forces from Izmir. They converged on the highway, where all three successfully completed landing and take-off operations.

The drill was conducted in coordination with Turkiye's Ministry of National Defense and the General Directorate of Highways, with security forces and emergency response teams on standby.
