The Kemankeş 2 is equipped with artificial intelligence and an advanced optical guidance system, enabling it to identify and strike targets with high precision even in adverse weather conditions. Thanks to its jet engine, the missile can remain airborne for approximately an hour and engage high-value targets deep behind enemy lines.

With an operational range exceeding 200 kilometres, the Kemankeş 2 is designed to deliver rapid, accurate, and autonomous strikes, marking a significant step forward in Türkiye’s indigenous weapons development.
