“Before the war, we trained Ukrainian operators, so they skillfully use drones. I follow their work from the news and see their effectiveness. Of course, improvements are made based on feedback from the battlefield. You must constantly improve them. And because of the dynamics on the battlefield and the environment in which they operate, that work never stops. I would like to note that your operators [Ukrainians – ed.] are doing their best and are demonstrating very good skills in using drones.”
According to the CEO of Baykar Makina, awareness of Turkish drones has increased on the European continent after the start of large-scale hostilities in Ukraine.
“Earlier, drones were considered an effective technology in so-called “asymmetric wars”, when the forces are not equal. Now Ukraine is facing such powerful aggression within the limits of the traditional concept of war. And these technologies have shown that in such cases, countries need to defend themselves with high technologies,” emphasized the general director of the company.
Haluk Bayraktar said that his company was very proud that Bayraktar TB-2 has become one of Ukrainian symbols.
“We tried to technically support the Ukrainians, to help your military squeeze as much as possible out of these systems so that they are effective in combat.”
