Bayraktar Drone Shot Down Over Ukraine, 18th so far
A Turkey-made Bayraktar TB2 combat drone was shot down in Ukraine’s Kharkiv Oblast, close to the Russian border, on Thursday.
This is the 18th confirmed loss of a Ukrainian Bayraktar during the war, per reports.
Ankara has supplied Kyiv with tens of TB2s, from even before the war started. Drone maker Baykar has said it will it begin producing them in a 30,000 sqm facility in the Ukrainian capital within two years. It will also set up a research center.
