The Turkish company Aselsan has integrated three new suspended containers for conducting electronic reconnaissance, electronic warfare and SAR mapping on board the Bayraktar TB2 attack and reconnaissance drone from Baykar. On this occasion, Western observers note:
As indicated, the RER Antidot 2ES 100 container is capable of detecting, identifying and determining the exact coordinates of the target. So, in its promo video, Aselsan demonstrates how a drone detects a combat vehicle similar to the Russian "Pantsir-S1" air defense missile system.
Three types of hanging containers:

When a target is identified, TB2 can set off on its own to destroy it. However, in this case, there is a high probability of being shot down along the way. The chances of survival of the drone are significantly increased due to the Antidot 2EA 200 electronic warfare container, which is able to suppress radars and disrupt their operation, protecting Bayraktar from anti-aircraft missiles from the radar seeker.
The Fulmar 200 hanging container is more suitable for the Bayraktar reconnaissance modification: it is capable of taking clear pictures at a distance of up to 40 km and from a height of up to 9 km.
