Baykar continues to make a name for himself with the UAV and SİHA systems it produces. Although it is mostly remembered with the successes of these vehicles in the field and the events that developed as a result, it has recently come to the fore with the demand from the world. Today, Italy, one of the largest military forces of NATO, showed that it aspires to Bayraktar TB2 SİHAs.
Italy wants to buy Bayraktar TB2!
What Italy wanted Bayraktar TB2 was revealed in the informational visual about the future plans published today. There are images of many products, from SAMP/T air defense missiles to the IAI Harop kamikaze drone system. Bayraktar TB2 was the most striking among them.
If this export is realized, Italy will not only be the 3rd NATO country to receive Bayraktar TB2, but also the largest. Because while Poland and Romania are at the bottom of the alliance, Italy is among the top 10 armies of both NATO and the EU and the world.
