A special photo indeed! In 2023, OGM leased one Türk Havacılık Ve Uzay Sanayii (TUSAŞ) Aksungur İHA and stationed it at Adana Şakirpaşa, operating for Şakirpaşa Orman İHA Şefliği (Adana İli) which translates to Şakirpaşa Forestry UAV Directorate (Adana Province). It was a one-off because since then, the OGM received its own Bayraktar TB2s.
