His company is closely cooperating with Ukraine on this project and the Bayraktar Akinci project.
“Akinci has made its first flight with a Ukrainian engine, and now we are integrating more, including various Ukrainian engines,” the Baykar CEO said.
Baykar has started construction of a factory in Ukraine, a research center and an advanced manufacturing center, where the Turkish company wants to produce all systems – fuselage, electronics, and software.
The company’s technical engineering team works to support Ukraine, which should become a production base.
“This is one of our ideals. Our wish is that one day at the factory in Ukraine we will be able to build Bayraktar TB2, Bayraktar Akinci, and also the new Bayraktar Kizilelma, an unmanned fighter.”
