Bayraktar TB4, which can carry 2 MAM-L and MAM-C missiles produced by Roketsan on its wings, has the ability to make precise targeting with its built-in laser target marker. With this feature, Turkey, and producing their own sihai munitions stand out as one of six countries in the world. National SİHA draws attention as a system that offers an all-in-one solution with a quick see-and-see feature in order to prevent damage to areas close to the target.
