The high demand on the world market for Turkish attack drones, observed after the Karabakh war in 2020, has fully loaded the production capacity of UAVs.
According to the head of the BAYKAR manufacturing company, Haluk Bayraktar, initially the company produced only one drone per month; now this figure has increased to 20 cars. As indicated, every 10 days customers receive one Bayraktar TB2 complex consisting of 6 UAVs. At the same time, the high demand for this system led to the construction of a second production base.
- the CEO noted.
At the additional site, the annual production volumes of Bayraktar TB2 drones will amount to 46 units, AKINCI - 24 units. $33.4 million is being invested in the new facility. It will be located in Istanbul [apparently, it was decided not to build a plant in Ukraine]. 1122 people will work on it.
- it is indicated on the company's website, naming the total volume of deliveries of the shock UAV.
Given the serious losses of the APU in TB2, their real number should be significantly less.
