Turkish Drone Manufacturer Reports Booming Business from Ukraine War

Baykar Defense, the Turkish company that manufactures the Bayraktar drones used to deadly effect by Ukraine’s defenders against the invading Russian army, on Tuesday, anticipated booming sales across Asia for its already sizzling-hot weapon system.

CEO Haluk Bayraktar thought the sales boost from success in Ukraine would be big enough to undercut China’s proliferation of drones throughout the region.

“China will not be willing to sell drones to many Asian countries in its neighborhood, and we are providing those countries a better option. They are showing much interest,” Bayraktar boasted to Nikkei Asia.

Haluk Bayraktar is the older brother of Selcuk Bayraktar, the engineering guru behind the TB-2 drone and son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The TB-2 weapons platform is named after the Bayraktar family, and so is the baby lemur born at the Kyiv Zoo on Friday – a gesture of Ukrainian appreciation for the Turkish company ordered by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.- READ MORE
