In the last two decades, many new countries have emerged that have manufactured extremely advanced and cutting-edge weapons. These weapons not only compete in the global market but in many cases also challenge the technological edge of the US-led Western countries. This change has transformed the post-Cold war world into a multipolar arms market. These new weapon-producing countries include India, China, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, japan and turkey, which are constantly attracting the world's attention with their military power and technology.
The example of the Soviet Union and Turkey's new experiment
During the Cold war, the Soviet Union surprised the US and NATO with amazing seaplanes like the "Caspian sea Monster" which evaded radar by flying at a low altitude above the sea surface. Today, Turkey's new TALAY drone is based on the same principle but has been made even more advanced.
World's first multipurpose sea-skimming UAV
Developed by Turkey's Solid Aero company, TALAY is considered to be the world's first Sea-Skimming Multipurpose Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. It can fly over the sea at a height of just 30 centimeters and uses the Wing-in-Ground (WIG) Effect which gives it more lift and efficiency in the air. Due to flying at such a low altitude, it remains almost invisible to conventional naval radar.
Technical features and design
The TALAY drone has a compact size. Its length is 9.19 feet and wingspan is 9.84 feet. It can fly at an altitude of 30 centimeters to 100 meters and can carry a payload of up to 30 kilograms (66 pounds). Advanced sensors, small anti-ship weapons or surveillance equipment can be installed in it. It runs on a fully electric engine and Li-Po battery, with a flight duration of 3 hours and an operational range of 200 km. Its foldable wings help it to be deployed quickly.

Master of secret missions
The most special feature of TALAY is its stealth design and ability to evade radar. It can be used for many operations like Normal Attack, Top Attack and Harbor Attack. With its AI-powered flight control system, it is capable of carrying out precise and fast attacks, whether it is day or night.

Turkiye's TALAY is not just a drone, but the beginning of a new military category that can prove to be a game-changer in naval operations. Its technology has proved that in the modern battlefield, not only America, russia and China, but countries like turkey can also take the lead.
