The Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2s quickly made an impression in the early days of the war.
Ukraine could receive Turkish-made drones able to launch cruise missiles, according to a new report, which would boost Kyiv's ability to strike behind Russia's defensive lines.
They quickly became a success with the Ukrainian military from the earliest days of the war, although they disappeared from Ukraine's skies as Russia beefed up its air defenses months into the war."Once thegot its act together, it was able to down many TB2s," Samuel Bendett, an analyst with the U.S. think tank, the Center for Naval Analyses, toldA Turkish Bayraktar TB2 combat drone is on view in Siauliai, Lithuania, on July 6, 2022.
Bayrak said the Akinci drone is compatible with a host of missiles, including the Gökdoğan air-to-air missile touted as being beyond visual range, the Bozdoğan infrared homing missile and the SOM stand-off cruise missile. The SOM missile has a range broadly similar to the 155 miles typically given as the range for the Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles.
