The next flight tests of weapons for attack drones have been carried out in Turkey. This time we are talking about the supersonic air-based missile IHA-230. It was launched from the Bayraktar AKINCI TIHA high-altitude attack drone.
The peculiarity of the rocket is that it is long-range. The IHA-230 can defeat a target at a distance of up to 140 km. At least, these are the figures voiced by its developers.
The missiles during the tests were fixed under both wings of the Turkish drone. During the flight, the tail of the missiles rotated from the air currents, which was filmed from several cameras that were placed on the drone itself.

One of the missiles during the flight of the drone came off the mounts and headed towards the target. The Turkish side decided not to demonstrate the very moment of hitting the target (if that was the task at the tests).
Thus, the Turkish side continues to actively develop its unmanned aircraft. As you know, Turkey has previously announced plans to build a factory for the production of drones in Ukraine. Then it was stated several times that perhaps the plans would not be implemented. However, the company that announced these plans is clearly not going to abandon them.
