Decisive device

The flagship of the Turkish military industry, the Bayraktar TB2 drone proves to be a powerful and relatively inexpensive device. The model was produced by entrepreneur Selcuk Bayraktar, son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

These 6.5-meter-long machines are half the weight of the US Reaper, the American competitor. They are also able to fly up to 27 hours in a row at over 220 km / h, at an operating altitude of 18,000 to 25,000 feet. They can also carry “4 laser-guided missiles”.

According to experts, Kyiv will have 20 such devices. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian embassy in Ankara has released photos of explosions carried out by a Turkish drone.
