Pakistan’s state-owned National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) has entered into a three-year Sales, Distribution, and Local Assembly/Production Agreement with Turkish defense and technology enterprise Pasifik Teknoloji and its unmanned systems subsidiary TİTRA Technology.
Following a May 2026 framework pact and successful field trials, end-user evaluations, and pilot training in Pakistan, the agreement—formalized via regulatory disclosures in September–November 2026 and valued at approximately $100 million—covers the delivery and localized manufacturing of over 100,000 uncrewed platforms. The package encompasses 100,000 Merküt FPV kamikaze drones, 10 Alpin unmanned helicopters, 25 Dumrul mini unmanned helicopters, 500 Deli tactical loitering munitions, and 250 Korgan autonomous ground support and drone-docking stations.

TIMES OF DEFENCE ASSESSMENT
The $100 million Pasifik Teknoloji–NRTC agreement marks a substantial structural shift in South Asian uncrewed warfare and Turkish-Pakistani defense industrialization:
1. **Institutionalizing High-Volume Attritable Strike Mass**: Securing 100,000 Merküt FPV drones alongside 500 Deli loitering munitions signals Pakistan’s adoption of lessons from high-intensity attrition warfare in Eastern Europe. Rather than relying exclusively on high-altitude MALE UAVs (such as Bayraktar TB2 or Akıncı), Islamabad is building deep tactical stockpiles of low-cost, expendable precision munitions capable of overwhelming forward air defenses and armored formations.
2. **Establishing Sovereign Domestic Assembly & Supply Chain Resilience**: Anchoring the three-year deal around local assembly and technology transfer with NRTC mitigates foreign supply-chain vulnerabilities. By localizing manufacturing workflows for FPV airframes, ground stations, and rotary-wing platforms, Pakistan expands its sovereign aerospace electronics base while positioning NRTC as a regional sustainment hub.
3. **Full-Spectrum Multi-Echelon Uncrewed Integration**: Pairing disposable FPV drones with automated Korgan ground stations, armed Dumrul mini-helicopters, and 200 kg-payload Alpin logistics rotorcraft creates an integrated multi-tier ecosystem. This architecture allows Pakistani forces to sustain forward outposts in high-altitude border terrain (such as Kashmir and the western frontier) while maintaining persistent ISR and immediate organic precision-strike responsiveness.
