Turkey Drone Market: Turkey has achieved great success in drone technology at the global level. Under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey has now captured 65 percent of the world’s drone and 60 percent of the combat drone market. Turkey’s leading drone manufacturing company Baykar has made this claim.
The head of the company, Celuk Bayraktar, is also the son-in-law of President Erdogan. He is the face of Turkey’s defense sector. He told that Turkey has now become the world’s largest drone manufacturer. He says that his company has left behind even the big drone companies of America.
Big market for Bayraktar TB2 drone
Bayraktar TB2 Drone: This is the most popular combat drone of Turkey. The Ukrainian Army is using it in the ongoing war against Russia. Apart from this, Azerbaijan had defeated Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh war, due to which it won. At the same time, in many African countries, Bayraktar TB2 drones have been used extensively during civil wars. Talking about the figures, Turkey’s total defense exports are $5.5 billion, of which only Bayraktar TB2 drone accounts for $1.8 billion. So far TB2 drones have been exported to 34 countries.
Turkey has many more weapons
In addition to Bayraktar TB2 drones, Turkey also supplies Akinci drones. It has been purchased by 10 countries so far. Along with naval drones, Kizilema fighter jet also strengthens Turkey’s strength. The Kizilema fighter jet is Turkey’s first unmanned fighter jet and can operate naval drones from aircraft carriers.
Increased danger for India
Turkish drones are becoming a new challenge for India. Turkey has sold its killer drones Bayraktar TB2 and TB3 to three neighboring countries of India – Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Maldives. Pakistan can use drones for activities on the border. Bangladesh can use drones to monitor Indian areas on the West Bengal and Meghalaya border. Maldives can use Turkish drones to keep an eye on India in maritime areas.
