**PRESS RELEASE**

Developed by MKE, the TOLGA 20 mm Dual Weapon Revolver System demonstrated its capabilities
by destroying aerial and surface targets during firing trials aboard TCG BEYKOZ 
at the National Unmanned Maritime Systems Exercise ([TURNAs-2026](https://www.military.africa/2026/11/havelsan-40-platforms-common-operational-picture-turnas-2026/)).
Alongside its military applications, the system is ready to protect commercial and
civilian vessels carrying out strategically important operations.

The system can be integrated onto deepwater drilling ships, seismic survey vessels,
cable-laying ships and floating power plants, as well as other commercial and civilian
vessels, to provide protection against aerial and surface threats.

## 3,200 Rounds per Minute to Counter Evolving Threats

With a rate of fire of 3,200 rounds per minute, three times that of comparable systems
worldwide, the TOLGA 20 mm Dual Weapon Revolver System can engage airborne and surface
kamikaze threats at an effective range of 1,000 metres using its anti-drone fragmentation
ammunition.

Developed in line with MKE’s ‘Effective, Simple and Affordable’ approach, the system
and its ammunition combine a high rate of fire with an effective response to these
threats.

Advanced stabilisation keeps the guns on target while the vessel is under way, improving
firing effectiveness. An elevation range of −30° to +70° enables the system to engage
targets at varying heights and altitudes.
