Turkish firm Solid Aero unveiled the Talay unmanned aerial vehicle, which was introduced as the world’s first low-altitude multipurpose UAV last year, on the global stage with a production-ready model at the International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) in Istanbul.

The Talay UAV was introduced at the SAHA Expo last year. The craft will enter mass production once its maritime test missions are completed.

The aircraft proved itself with its free flight capacity at a 100-meter altitude using the “Wing-in-Ground” principle.

Solid Aero will soon begin the testing and production of the craft in collaboration with Istanbul-based Yonca Shipyard.

The Talay UAV was developed to be used for low-altitude operations over sea as an effective and high-performance platform for defense, attack, and deterrence missions.#
