MKE unveils TOLGA 20 mm dual weapon system at Euronaval

Turkish defense company MKE has debuted the TOLGA 20 mm Dual Weapon Revolver System at the Euronaval 2026 exhibition in Paris. The system is designed to counter kamikaze drones and other aerial or surface threats.

Following successful testing during the TURNAs-2026 national maritime exercises aboard the TCG BEYKOZ, the system demonstrated its ability to engage targets using specialized fragmentation ammunition. The dual revolver cannons can achieve a combined rate of fire of up to 3,200 rounds per minute, which MKE states is three times higher than comparable global systems. It is effective against threats at a range of approximately 1,000 meters when using anti-drone munitions.

The TOLGA 20 is a naval spin-off of MKE’s land-based short-range air defense technology. It features an advanced stabilization system to maintain accuracy during vessel movement and an electro-optic sensor head equipped with thermal, day, and laser rangefinding capabilities. While designed for military use, the system is also intended for protecting strategic civilian vessels, including seismic survey ships, cable layers, and floating power plants.
