Pakistan’s National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) will be acquiring various unmanned aerial systems (UAS) – with licensing for production and assembly – from Türkiye’s TİTRA Technology.
In its disclosure to Türkiye’s Public Disclosure Platform (Kamuyu Aydınlatma Platformu or KAP) on 19 September 2026, the Turkish defence conglomerate Pasifik Teknoloji A.Ş. reported that it signed a deal with NRTC to supply the latter with drones designed and developed by TİTRA Technology, a subsidiary of Pasifik Teknoloji A.Ş.
The deal with the NRTC includes: 100,000 Merküt (Mercury) first-person-view (FPV) kamikaze drones; 10 Alpin (Alpine) rotary UAS; 25 Dumrul rotary UAS; 500 Deli-2 and/or Deli-S loitering munitions; and 250 Korgan autonomous drone stations (the Merküt and Korgan are products of SAVX Teknoloji, a TİTRA subsidiary).
According to Pasifik Teknoloji, the terms of the agreement will be concluded in three years, while the “production and delivery of the ordered products will begin in the near future.” The final agreement was signed on 18 September 2026, following a series of field tests, evaluations, and training sessions that took place after a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in May 2026.
Pasifik Teknoloji A.Ş. did not disclose the value of this deal, but a baseline of around USD $100 million is reasonable based on the pricing of comparable systems from other parts of the world.
If NRTC intends to license and locally manufacture these products, especially using domestic industry inputs rather than imported ones, then the program cost would be much higher. However, that would be the overhead cost of building the production capacity; Pakistan would amortize it with significant orders over the long term. Thus far, Pakistan has placed large-scale orders for the Merküt FPV drones.
