Turkish company Pasifik Teknoloji has signed a three-year agreement with Pakistan’s National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) to supply 100,000 Merküt FPV kamikaze drones and hundreds of other unmanned systems. The agreement was signed on 18 September 2026, and the company disclosed it on Türkiye’s Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) on 19 September, the specialist outlet Defense Mirror reports.

On 11 and 12 November the deal was circulated again by specialist websites and social media accounts, some of which presented it as a new agreement. It is the same disclosure from September.

What the agreement includes

According to the reports relaying the company’s disclosure, the package includes:

  • 100,000 Merküt FPV kamikaze drones;
  • 500 Deli tactical kamikaze drones;
  • 250 Korgan autonomous ground units;
  • 10 Alpin unmanned helicopters;
  • 25 Dumrul mini unmanned helicopters.

The agreement covers sales, distribution and local assembly and production in Pakistan. It has not been specified which components will be made locally or in what proportion. According to the Indian specialist site IDRW, deliveries are due to run until September 2029. Defense Mirror says the systems were developed by subsidiaries of Pasifik Teknoloji.

The framework was announced in May

Pasifik Teknoloji announced a framework agreement for the same systems in early May 2026 without naming the customer. At the time, the company said only that it was a defence organisation of a “friendly and allied country”. According to Forbes Türkiye, the May package included 500 Korgan autonomous ground units, while the final agreement includes 250.

What is not known

The value of the deal has not been disclosed. Flank has found no statement from NRTC or the Pakistani government on the agreement: all the available information comes from the Turkish company’s disclosure. The quantities given are volumes agreed over three years, not systems already delivered.

In Flank’s assessment, the scale of 100,000 FPV drones shows that the mass production of cheap strike drones is now also an export business for Türkiye. Without information on the value, the delivery schedule and the share of local production, however, it is not possible to judge what capability Pakistan will gain and when.
