Kuwait on Tuesday said it purchased Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones in a deal signed directly with Ankara, the Kuwait News Agency reported.
According to a statement by the Kuwaiti Defense Ministry, the deal, which is worth $367 million, will "enhance the defense capabilities of the Kuwaiti army."
It added that besides providing necessary maintenance and logistical supplies, the contract includes "preparing special facilities to those aircraft, including arming, electronic warfare equipment, and mobile ground control stations that are compatible with NATO standards."
The ministry said the drones were tested in Kuwait in July 2019, noting that they flew without pause for 27 hours and 3 minutes "amid difficult climatic conditions...indicating that this is a record."

Turkish drone magnate Baykar’s Bayraktar TB2 and Akıncı unmanned aerial vehicles (UCVs) have conducted a total of 1,551 hours and 53 minutes of flight over the earthquake zone in Türkiye’s southeast since massive quakes hit the region on Feb. 6.
"We are very proud, and it is very touching for us to be one of the symbols of this big resistance in Ukraine," Bayraktar TB2 drone-maker Baykar's CEO, Haluk Bayraktar said, talking to CNN in an interview, answering a question on how it feels to attract this much attention around the world.
Bayraktar TB3, which recently made history by becoming the world’s first armed unmanned aerial vehicle to take off and land on a short-runway vessel, successfully completed its first firing test with the MAM-T munition to hit its target with pinpoint accuracy.
