Why Turkish drones are so good?

Turkey has few types of indigenously developed armed drones in operation. By now it has utilised its fleet of armed drones of 140 in service according to the #Turkish Ministry of Defense in 2021. And for now their most notable drone is Bayraktar TB2.

The secret behind the success of Turkish drones lies in their relativeley cheep price and lasting impact on warfare as a useful tool of attrition, information war with videos on social media and as well as being able to draw in the attention of more expensive enemy jets or missiles.

The #drones ‒ priced from 2 to 5 million dollars each according to estimates ‒ are produced by the Baykar defense company, which belongs to the family of the son-in-law of Turkish President. Erdoğan is the leader who wishes to build a powerful, industrialized Turkey that serves as the natural leader of the Muslim world. #Turkey arms industry has grown tenfold in the past twenty years, and most of the country’s military equipment is now manufactured locally.
