Revealed in March 2026 together with Sivrisinek; performed an autonomous 5-aircraft swarm flight in Keşan and displayed at SAHA EXPO 2026. Key differentiator from other kamikaze UAVs: if the target cannot be found or the mission is aborted, it returns to base without striking and can be reused — but when it does find the target it dives and strikes like a conventional kamikaze. Serial production / inventory entry not yet confirmed; engine model (TM100) not officially verified.
