MOSCOW, April 21. /TASS/. Russia, in the case of Turkey's supply of drones to Ukraine, will consider the prospect of military-technical cooperation with Ankara, taking this into account. This was reported to journalists by Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov after the address of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly.

"We will look specifically in a specific case," Borisov told reporters when asked whether Russia would suspend military-technical cooperation with Turkey if it supplied drones to Ukraine.

On April 15, the Turkiye newspaper, citing a source, reported that Turkey is ready to sell its weapons and UAVs to all countries, including Russia. The source noted that Ankara "can carry out the sale after negotiations and after reaching mutually acceptable conditions," since the UAVs "are not directed against Russia or any other country." Three days earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia strongly recommends that all responsible countries, including Turkey, "analyze the situation, the eternal militant statements of the Kiev regime" and warns them against fueling these militaristic sentiments.

In 2019, Ukraine purchased and tested Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones, which are planned to be equipped with high-precision MAM-L aerial bombs of the Turkish company Roketsan. The General Director of the state company "Ukrspetsexport" Vadim Nozdrya in October 2020 announced the interest of Kiev in the joint production of Bayraktar TB2 in Ukraine and that the Ukrainian army plans to purchase 48 such devices.
