By releasing exclusive test video of its TALAY maritime kamikaze UAV utilizing the wing-in-ground effect to skim the sea at sub-meter altitudes, Turkish defense company SolidAERO made headlines. Solid Aero and Anadolu Agency reported that this audacious idea places TALAY as the first low-altitude, multi-role unmanned aerial vehicle in the world, made especially for maritime and coastal attack missions. Prior to its formal presentation at IDEF 2025 in Istanbul, the Anadolu Agency-captured film demonstrates a significant change in how drones can avoid radar detection, piquing the curiosity of naval strategists. At a period when sea control strategies are being subjected to close examination, this development might transform the maritime unmanned strike industry.
