KEMANKEŞ 2 - Loitering Precision Strike

KEMANKEŞ 2 overview

KEMANKEŞ 2 is Baykar's jet-powered mini intelligent cruise missile for autonomous, EO-guided precision strike. Its compact cruise-missile form differentiates it from Baykar's larger reusable reconnaissance aircraft.

Baykar claims the listed 2.47-m length, 1.35-m span, 160-KIAS speed, 30-minute endurance, 10,000-ft ceiling, 20-kg payload, and 75-kg MTOW. Its 150-km operational range is distinct from the 70+-km communications range, while warhead type and mass are undisclosed.

Testing began in April and it appeared at SAHA Expo in 2024, according to reporting. That is not verified service entry, and operators are not publicly disclosed; comparisons should preserve the manufacturer-claim qualification. For comparison, publicly documented roles and procurement or testing evidence are more reliable than unsupported inference from incomplete specifications, and they should not be treated as confirmation of unreported characteristics.
