Story

Defense footage shows Turkey’s ŞAHİN 40mm anti-drone system in service, designed to detect and neutralize mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Turkish defense sources. The system uses 40mm airburst munitions optimized for short-range air defense, aimed at countering small drones that are difficult to detect and intercept with traditional systems. Turkish officials say ŞAHİN enhances layered air defense against low, slow, and small aerial threats. The system is developed and fielded by Turkish Armed Forces with support from Turkey’s defense industry. The exact date and location the footage was recorded could not be independently verified.
