The Turkish company that produces Bayraktar combat drones is currently in the process of building a factory in Ukraine, said Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar.
According to Bodnar, Baykar has already registered in Ukraine, developed project documents and purchased a land plot.
In July, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly said that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin asked him for a deal with the Turkish defense firm.
Baykar’s CEO Haluk Bayraktar earlier said his company wouldn't sell the drones to Russia. “Turkey supports Ukraine with combat drones. We would never do that,” he said.
Don't tell 'em, Pikeski!
Personally I wouldn't be advertising this fact or if I did, announce that it was being built alongside a factory making air defence weaponry complete with some examples of the wares parked outside.
