Turkish drone maker Baykar has reportedly established a production facility in the
UAE and Russia’s Vladimir Putin also wanted to set up a similar facility in
Russia, it emerged on Tuesday.
According to CNN Turk, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told colleagues at a top party meeting on Monday that Putin had approached him during a recent meeting in Tehran to suggest a deal with Turkish firm Baykar to produce its attack drones, which have proved effective against Russian forces in Ukraine.
“Putin told me that he wants to work with Baykar,” Erdogan reportedly said. “He proposed to establish a factory in Russia as [Bayakr] has done in the UAE.”
A Baykar spokesperson denied that the company had established a factory in the UAE. The spokesperson declined to comment on the Russian proposal.
However, a source with knowledge of the issue said Baykar was indeed in the process of establishing a production line in the UAE.
