Products: uas, loitering-munition. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 26.2/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 98th percentile of 118 defense space companies.
Two entries populate the record, both severity 4 losses of Bayraktar Akıncı unmanned aircraft: a 2025 crash in Libya and a 2026 shootdown over Yemen described as the type's first confirmed combat loss. Both are airframe-loss events in active conflict zones, one attributed to hostile action and one unspecified by cause in the data, with no injury, cyber, or regulatory entries present. The record is press-driven, consistent with combat-loss reporting rather than safety-regulator findings. At index 26.4 and the 99.1th percentile of defense-space, Baykar ranks near the top of its category despite only two rows, reflecting the uniform severity-4 weighting of both entries. The pattern is narrow and single-mode: total airframe loss in contested airspace, with no other failure type represented.
