A number of pilots of the Polish Army’s Bayraktar TB2 drone have completed training to operate this armed UAV made by the Turkish company Baykar Technologies.
Baykar announced that all pilots who underwent training had all passed. They will then operate the UCAV and serve as instructors for the next TB2 pilots. As is known, Poland purchased four sets of Bayraktar TB2 drones consisting of 24 units.
Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said the purchase of this drone was accompanied by anti-armored vehicle ammunition.
“The Polish army had to evolve with modern equipment. The security of our country must be guaranteed by a stronger and more equipped army. We strengthened the Polish army with Bayraktar. It was a proven weapon, an effective weapon to deter attackers. The Bayraktar contract includes a logistics and training package, and there is an offset for service by military companies,”
Blaszczak explained in his statement to the press.
As for the Bayraktar TB2, this drone has soared its name thanks to the victories it has won in a number. Turkey has successfully exported Bayraktar TB2 drones to 23 countries including Ukraine, Qatar, Azerbaijan and Poland.
With Ukraine, Turkey has signed an agreement to manufacture a number of its drones in the country. In addition to the Bayraktar TB2, other drones to be built in Ukraine include the Bayraktar Akinci.
After exporting $664 million worth of S/UAV systems in 2021, Baykar is the top exporting company in defense and aerospace, according to data released by the Turkish Exporters Assembly. Baykar currently generates more than 90% of its revenue from exports. Negotiations are continuing with many countries interested in Bayraktar TB2.
