"Bayraktar fires its first smart ammo with warhead
"Bayraktar" shot an MAM-L smart ammunition projectile with a warhead for the first time during a test conducted on April 28, 2016. Drone was test fired for the first time on December 17, 2015. The first shot occurred with ammunition without the warhead.

Along with these tests for the armed drone, the "qualification" stage is thereby completed. Furthermore, over the next months, Bayraktar drones are planned for use by the Turkish Armed Forces after the completion of all required tests.
In ongoing tests, the drones are expected to be able to carry ammunition. Each of round of ammunition, the MAM-L and MAM-C, developed by Roketsan for the drone platforms, weighs 22.5 kilograms. The guided ammo with the warhead, weighing 10 kilograms, can hit a target from 8 kilometers away.

"700 years old secret on MAM-L
The Turkish-engineered unmanned aerial vehicle "Bayraktar" has fired an MAM-L smart ammunition projectile, written on it '8/17' what actually refers to a 700 years old Turkish tradition.
The secret is about Turkish archery, when an archer finally receive his bow and arrows, his mentor whispers his ear the secret and reads a part from Quran, Surat Al-Anfal 8/17: "And you threw not, when you threw, but it was Allah who threw..."."
