Denis Fedutinov, a leading Russian expert in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, told Sputnik that should a production of Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar Akinci combat drones kick off in Ukraine, such a drone factory could become a potential target for the Russian Forces.
"If such a facility is established on Ukrainian soil amidst the ongoing special military operation, it could potentially become a target for Russian strike capabilities. Ensuring its security under such circumstances presents difficulties,"
Construction work at Baykar's local subsidiary, LLC Avia Ventures, is progressing according to plan, Bayraktar said in an interview published on Thursday.
According to the company's CEO, Haluk Bayraktar, the company has received the appropriate license permits from Turkiye for the full production of Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar Akinci drones in Ukraine.
