MKE continues to develop critical defence systems in line with the of the Turkish Armed Forces in the field. Under a joint project carried out with the Secretariat of Defence Industries of Türkiye, MMT-76 which successfully completed its ground qualification trials in 2025, has now passed its aerial qualification tests for helicopter use with a 100% success rate.
Having already earned readiness for serial production by passing 40 different NATO standard tests, MMT-76 delivered outstanding performance in helicopter vibration simulation, reliability and durability, low- and high-temperature, and air-to ground firing trials, qualifying it for use as a door gun on general-purpose helicopters.
With this achievement, MMT-76 has become a truly multi-role weapon system, capable of serving both as an infantry-type light machine gun and aboard helicopter platforms.
MMT-76 STANDS OUT FOR ITS HIGH FIREPOWER AND LIGHT WEIGHT
Thanks to its high reliability, durability and performance under demanding environmental conditions, MMT-76 will further strengthen Turkish, allied and friendly armed forces on the field. Weighing 8 KGs with an effective range of 1,000 metres, MMT-76 delivers an uninterrupted rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, making a significant contribution to the operational capability of the military personnel.
Distinguished by its high firepower and durability, MMT-76 also stands out for being lighter than its NATO-standard counterparts. Featuring a gas-piston operating system and a rotating bolt locking mechanism, MMT-76 can be used effectively across a wide range of environments and rough climatic conditions. With a six-position adjustable (telescopic) stock and an ergonomic design offering user comfort, the weapon’s ammunition is also produced at MKE facilities.
