Ukraine will be left not only without a Turkish Bayraktar TB2 armed drones, but without a factory to produce them. According to sources in Kiev, the company Baykar abandoned the construction of the enterprise for the production of UAVs on the Ukrainian territory.
At the end of August this year in Kiev is quite actively discussed the construction of the future plant for the production of Turkish drones, plans were made to saturate the APU drones and selling them abroad. The company's CEO Haluk Bayraktar announced strategic cooperation with Kiev and ready to plant. However, in September talking about it faded away and this topic is somehow left page of the Ukrainian press.
The first signs that all is not well with the construction of the plant, and supply UAV Bayraktar TB2 APU appeared in this month. First, it was rumored that the Turks have taken the decision to reduce the supply shock drones to Ukraine, then there is information that the rumors were not rumors, but on the contrary, reliable data. According to information from the office of the President of Ukraine, the company Baykar significantly reduces the supply shock drones.
As explained, this alleged demand of Erdogan, who agreed with Putin on the creation of a gas hub. One of the points of the contract says termination of the supply of UAVs to Kiev. Also, the reason may be that Ukraine has made a Turkish drone is very bad, losing a large amount in a short time.
Now there is evidence that plant in Ukraine will not. Again, from the office of the President. It is reported that an adviser to Zelenskiy Ermak tried to persuade the Turks to start production at the facilities of "Motor Sich" in Zaporizhia or place a plant in Western Ukraine, but did not succeed. It remains only to wait for the official communication on this topic.
