Thanks to the rapid steps taken one after another in the field of aviation by domestic defense industry companies, Turkey became the world’s top unmanned aerial vehicle seller in 2022. Turkey continues to export its newly produced war technologies in 2023.
Unmanned aerial vehicle exports are moving to new countries!
With its recent investments in the defense industry, Turkey left Israel behind and became the world’s largest UAV-SIHA manufacturer after the USA and China. Exporting unmanned aerial vehicles to many countries, Turkey managed to deliver 24 ANKAs to new regions.
According to the post shared by Clash Reports, 24 ANKA; Exported to Algeria, Indonesia and Chad. Algeria has ordered 12, Indonesia 10 and Chad two ANKA SİHAs. Thus, Turkey has added new countries to which it exports unmanned aerial vehicles. It is expected that new exports will be made in this direction in the coming period.
ANKAs have proven their usefulness in the past with their different features. It was announced that the unmanned aerial vehicle, which gained the feature of mine search and detection, was placed on the Odessa coast of Ukraine against the Russians and was used to detect the mines that came to the straits by spontaneously breaking (!).
While ANKA unmanned aerial vehicles are exported to many countries, the production of these vehicles is now being carried abroad. According to the statement made by TAI last year, an agreement was reached with Kazakhstan Engineering company for the production of ANKA UAVs.
