The armament of a tactical class UAV in Turkey for the first time and the success of the Bayraktar TB2 in many different geographies make the Bayraktar TB2 the world’s most successful UAV in its class.
According to the information obtained from open sources, the country to which Bayraktar TB2s, which were exported to 19 different countries, was delivered the most this year was Ukraine.
It was claimed by Reuters that Ukraine, which is known to have ordered more than 20 Bayraktar TB2s in the period before the war started, ordered 16 more Bayraktar TB2s on January 27.
It is claimed that this lot of 6 pieces was delivered to Ukraine at the beginning of March.
In a statement made by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the subject on March 2, “The new Bayraktar TB2s have already arrived in Ukraine and are in combat positions. There will also be more Javelin and Stinger on the court.” statements were made
Ukraine had more than 48 TB2 SİHA orders for Baykar Defence, and delivery had not been made for a long time.
