The Ministry of Defense explained, for G4Media.ro, that it is 18 drones, and the price is an estimate. The estimated value of 300 million dollars includes the 18 drones, but also the “initial logistical support package and specific training and training equipment”, whose value is also estimated.
According to websites specialized in combat technology, the price of Bayraktar TB2 drones varies depending on the equipment, starts from one million dollars and can reach 5 million dollars.
According to wikipedia, which cites information published on the company’s official website , the price of a single TB2 unit can reach $5 million, about one-sixth the price of the U.S.-built Reaper UAV.
Baykar did not specify a price for this drone model, but republished on its website several news about crowdfunding campaigns launched in 2022 in Europe to buy Bayraktar UAVs for Ukraine, all of which set a goal of about 5 -$5.5 million for the unit.
