The Turkish drone manufacturer is developing a TB3 drone with foldable wings and the ability to take off from an aircraft carrier.
As Russia’s war in Ukraine nears the 100th day of fighting this week, one piece of Ukrainian military gear—a combat drone—is now in demand around the world, according to the Turkish tech company that makes it.
Since the onset of the invasion of Ukraine on February 25, the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drone has been celebrated as a force multiplier, a symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion, as well as a source of national pride.
“Bayraktar TB2 is doing what it was supposed to do—taking out some of the most advanced anti-aircraft systems and advanced artillery systems and armored vehicles,” Selçuk Bayraktar, chief technical officer of Baykar—and designer of the drone—told Reuters recently. “The whole world is a customer.”
