In less than a decade, Turkey has become a drone powerhouse. Unmanned aerial vehicles were its defense industry's single largest export last year, totaling $871.5 million — an 80% increase over 2021.

Turkish drone magnate Baykar’s Bayraktar TB2 and Akıncı unmanned aerial vehicles (UCVs) have conducted a total of 1,551 hours and 53 minutes of flight over the earthquake zone in Türkiye’s southeast since massive quakes hit the region on Feb. 6.

Turkish drone magnate Baykar will donate permanent shelters for those affected by massive earthquakes in Türkiye’s south, which left more than 30,000 dead and thousands of others injured while forcing many to abandon their homes.

Bayraktar Akıncı and Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) developed by Turkish drone magnate Baykar are aiding earthquake relief efforts in Türkiye’s south.

Poland, which does not hesitate to spend higher on defense, as well as countries with modest defense budgets, from Sub-Saharan Africa to ex-Soviet geography, purchase Bayraktar TB2 armed drones.

Türkiye’s first indigenously designed and produced unmanned fighter aircraft, Bayraktar KIZILELMA, successfully passed the system identification test during its second flight.
 

Turkish-made aircraft like the Bayraktar TB2 have dramatically expanded the role of drones in warfare.

Turkey is set to deliver an undisclosed number of armed drones to Kuwait in a contract worth $370 million, Turkish defence firm Baykar said on Wednesday.
 

Baykar signed an export agreement worth $370 million with Kuwait’s Defense Ministry for Bayraktar TB2s.
