Alka-Kaplan laser tank, a Turkish state-of-the-art air defense system.

Turkey is launching the ALKA-KAPLAN, aiming to equip its armed forces with cutting-edge technology ready for combat deployment.

It is designed to take out dangerous flying drones while working alongside other tanks and infantry.

As well as protecting troops from aerial threats, it can also tackle roadside bombs and other explosive devices.

But unlike more conventional air defence systems, this new model uses futuristic tech to protect friendly forces from drone attacks.

It can disable hostile drones using electromagnetic jamming tech and powerful lasers to eliminate threats.

The vehicle also uses artificial intelligence-assisted tracking and threat identification.

This allows it to quickly spot, identify and eliminate enemy drones and explosive devices.

Its systems can also be used to help target helicopters and other flying threats.

New footage has shown the high-tech tank in action, targeting a lone drone and rapidly zapping it out of the sky.

The tank will use its jammers to disrupt the enemy drone before firing an intense laser blast to knock it out of action.

With options for fixed, mobile, or portable settings, the tank can be deployed in versatile ways to protect urban areas, open spaces and convoys.

Its design also removes the need for auxiliary power units – and makes stealthy operations easier.

The tank is part of an effort by Turkey to reduce its reliance on foreign defence tech, website Interesting Engineering has reported.

ALKA-KAPLAN is set to be officially shown at tech event IDEF 2025, the outlet added.

It comes as the use of drones in modern warfare becomes increasingly widespread.

Drones have been extensively used during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has repeatedly pounded the war-torn nation with swarms of deadly drones.

Violent drone and missile strikes have intensely bombarded Ukrainian cities – killing and wounding large numbers of civilians.

The brutal attacks even destroyed a Kyiv kindergarten in recent days.

Subway stations have been turned into makeshift shelters as drones swarm through the skies.
