Ukraine is still winning the drone war.
War weapon UAV Bayraktar TB2
Baykar is based in Istanbul, Turkey. It is currently co-owned by Selcuk and Haluk Bayraktar. Selcuk is the primary designer and credited with the development of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). He was educated in the US at MIT.
The company was founded in the 1980s by Bayraktar’s father, Ozdemir Bayraktar. And it began to focus on unmanned aircraft in 2005.
There is no doubt that the Turkish company has helped to revolutionize modern warfare. And Selcuk claims that Ukraine’s successes with drones have made “the whole world” a customer.
Selchuk Bayraktar, is married to the daughter of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. President Erdogan says international demand is huge for TB2 drones. An updated TB3 version, as well as a new UAV called the “Akinci” is also being beta tested.
With current factory resources Baykar can only produce about 200 TB2 drones a year.
Baykar wants drones used to pushback invaders
“It is an illegal invasion so TB2 is helping the honorable people of Ukraine defend their country,” Selcuk says of Russia’s invasion.
