Baykar will provide three Bayraktar TB2s to Ukraine free of charge

Good news from Turkey. Baykar Technology stated that they were impressed by the desire and spirit of solidarity of the Ukrainians to achieve their goals. And three Bayraktar TB-2’s  that were the subject of the latest fundraiser will be sent to Ukraine free of charge.

 

“Baykar has been informed that a crowdfunding campaign dubbed “The People’s Bayraktar” was successful in raising funds to buy several Bayraktar TB2 UAVs for Ukrainians to use in defense of their Homeland.

Business leaders and ordinary people alike contributed funds – small and large – to reach this milestone within a matter of a few days time.

Baykar will not accept payment for the TB2s, and will send 3 UAVs free of charge to the Ukrainian war front. We ask that raised funds be remitted instead to the struggling people of Ukraine. We are touched by their solidarity and resolve in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Baykar prays for a just resolution and lasting peace.”
