Turkey reportedly has begun mass-producing its latest miniature ammunition, designed to be deployed in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

This laser-guided Bozok missile has undergone various fire tests, which it has successfully completed.

Although miniature ammunition could operate on a range of UAVs, the Bozok was created specifically to be deployed on the

drone .

While the TB2 drone was created by Turkish manufacturer Baykar Makina, the Bozok missile was developed by the TÜBİTAK Defense Industry Research and Development Institute.

Turkey has exported about 100 TB2 drones to 13 countries, bringing greater precision to air strikes for its buyers.

The new Bozok miniature missile will enhance TB2's already more advanced capabilities and serve as a useful asset for the Turkish government.

Originally developed in 2007, Turkey's TB2 drone has achieved widespread fame for its effectiveness in counter-insurgency missions.

Drones were used in last year’s Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and most recently in Russia’s occupation of Ukraine.

Bozok ammunition provides attack capability for unmanned aerial vehicles without compromising effective defense functions.

Extremely small and lightweight, miniature ammunition also provides weight-sensitive operational suitability.

The MAM-L ammunition, commonly used by Turkish-made combat drones, is smaller and heavier than the new Bozok variant.

Bozok weighs 16 kilograms and is about 120 millimeters tall.

Comparatively, the lightweight MAM-L Smart Micro Munition weighs 22 kilograms and is about 1 meter tall.

According to Defense News, the missile "has a precise instruction with its semi-active laser seeker, proximity sensors and optimized target effectiveness, according to TÜBİTAK".

In addition to the Bozok missile, Turkey's TÜBİTAK Defense Industry Research and Development Institute has recently developed two indigenous classes of air-to-air missiles.

According to Turkish reports, Beyond Visual Range Gokdogan and Visual Range Bozdogan are both close to mass production after successfully completing test launches.

Turkey's progress in the drone and ammunition sectors has steadily improved in recent years.

Last month, Turkey's Bakyar Makin Avinvi drone successfully completed an unprecedented flight to the northwest of the country and Azerbaijan.

The high-altitude, long-haul drone has the capability to support fighter jets in Turkish operations.

The sophisticated drone can also be equipped with various weapon loads, including missiles and laser-guided intelligent ammunition.

While the extraction of Bozok miniature ammunition is in the works, Turkish-made drones and ammunition will continue to play an active role in the ongoing conflict around the world.
