YIHA-III (88b893d5-952b-54a5-a09e-3916b7dd5060)
The YIHA‑III is a Turkish‑Pakistani high‑precision loitering‑munition UAV developed jointly by Baykar and the National Aerospace Science & Technology Park (NASTP). Powered by a single DLE‑170 internal‑combustion engine, it carries a 35 kg OMTAS high‑explosive warhead and can launch from runway or catapult before loitering and diving onto targets, also capable of swarm operations. Since entering service in 2023, the YIHA‑III has been employed by Turkey, Pakistan, Albania, Ukraine, Sudan and reportedly Azerbaijan, seeing combat in the Russo‑Ukrainian war, Syrian theater, Pakistani anti‑terrorist missions and recent operations against the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Its flexible launch options and sizable payload make it a key kamikaze asset for regional air forces.
