Italy’s Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy has approved the sale of Piaggio Aerospace, the country’s long-standing aviation business, to Baykar.

Bayraktar TB2, Türkiye’s first original indigenous UCAV, has become the first Turkish aircraft to surpass 1 million flight hours. Adding yet another milestone to its record-breaking achievements, the indigenous UCAV has once again made its mark on Turkish aviation history by setting an extraordinary benchmark.

Making history as the first UCAV to take off and land on a short-deck vessel, Bayraktar TB3 successfully completed two additional takeoffs and landings during yesterday’s flight tests on TCG Anadolu.

A historic agreement for the export of Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs was signed in Zagreb between Baykar and the Ministry of Defense of Croatia. The Bayraktar TB2, Türkiye’s leading defense platform, will join Croatia’s security forces inventory and begin operations in Croatian airspace.
