The Armed Forces of Ukraine may receive an improved version of the Bayraktar TB2 drone. The Turkish drone company is considering this possibility, Baykar Makina CEO Haluk Bayraktar said.
The updated Bayraktar Akinci drone can start to be produced in Ukraine. The company received all necessary permits, Bayraktar says.
“Regarding Bayraktar Akinci, this matter is under consideration, as far as I know. The Ukrainian military is well aware of what we manufacture and invest in. Therefore, our plan is to produce all the systems we have here [in Ukraine – ed.],” the Baykar company CEO says.
The Bayraktar Akinci drone has a Ukrainian engine and a smart HGK-82 guidance system. The device can conduct operations with fighters. The UAV is equipped with electronic support systems, dual satellite communication systems, air-to-air radar, anti-collision radar and synthetic aperture radar. The drone can carry mini-munitions, bombs and missiles. This allows its use in air-to-ground and air-to-air attacks. The strike drone is currently undergoing testing.
The construction of a factory for the production of Bayraktar drones began in Ukraine. The construction of the enterprise includes the transfer of high technologies and the localization of the production of the most modern drones. Ukraine has formed the entire legal framework for the start of construction.
The Turkish company Baykar is also investing US$100 million in three projects in Ukraine; in particular, the construction of a factory for the production of drones will be completed in 1.5 years.
This isn’t an upgraded TB2, which is already a modern drone (even if it is a more budget model compared to what the US has). This model is more akin to a Reaper drone. It has a much larger payload compared to the TB2, as well as a longer range and higher ceiling.
3 day special operation is going well when the country they invaded is building advanced technology fighter/bomber drones far beyond their own technological capability.
A train ran over one of their most expensive, irreplaceable SAMs.
Turkey would not be investing $100 million in the countries infrastructure if it thought was going to be taken over. That says a lot.
I am sure they will try to build this in a secure location, but won’t Russia do everything it can to destroy these factories to discourage other companies from doing the same thing?
