Analyst brief

Two entries populate the record, both severity 4 losses of Bayraktar Akıncı unmanned aircraft: a 2025 crash in Libya and a 2026 shootdown over Yemen described as the type's first confirmed combat loss. Both are airframe-loss events in active conflict zones, one attributed to hostile action and one unspecified by cause in the data, with no injury, cyber, or regulatory entries present. The record is press-driven, consistent with combat-loss reporting rather than safety-regulator findings. Baykar's index of 43.7 ranks 3 of 16 companies in Defense / space with incident history. The pattern is narrow and single-mode: total airframe loss in contested airspace, with no other failure type represented.
