In a meeting with the CEO of the Turkish defense company Baykar on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Baykar would establish a factory there to produce unmanned aerial vehicles. Reuters reported.
In Ukraine, where it assisted in destroying numerous Russian artillery systems and armored vehicles, Baykar’s Bayraktar TB2 drone has gained enormous popularity.
Zelensky awards Turkish drone maker Baykar’s CEO Haluk Bayraktar with 1st Degree State Order of Merit.
“We discussed the details of the construction of the Baykar factory in Ukraine and the production of new goods using Ukrainian components,” Zelensky said in an online post after meeting Baykar Chief Executive Haluk Bayraktar in Kyiv.
A video posted online showed Zelensky giving Bayraktar the Ukrainian Order of Merit. In return, Zelensky received a traditional embroidered Ukrainian shirt featuring a drone.
Russia has previously complained to Türkiye over its sale of the drones to Ukraine.
