The reputation and international demand for Türkiye's Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar Akinci have risen across Europe since the start this February of Russia's war on Ukraine.
This April, Serbia also reaffirmed its intention to purchase Türkiye’s combat drones, which have been in high demand worldwide.
Countries including Ukraine, Qatar, and Azerbaijan have already purchased the drones, with Poland last year becoming the first EU and NATO member state to acquire drones from Türkiye.
The Turkish combat drone Bayraktar TB2 is seen as pivotal in conflicts ranging from Karabakh to Ukraine. People in several countries started fundraising campaigns to buy more of the useful drones for Kyiv to help fight off Russia.

On April 22, 2022, Turkey's newest unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), the AKINCI, conducted its first live firing at a sea target.
"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.
The Bayraktar TB3 UCAV took to the world stage as part of NATO's Steadfast Dart 2026 exercise. Taking off autonomously from TCG ANADOLU's short runway, Bayraktar TB3 scored direct hits on surface targets with a dual salvo MAM-L strike during a live-fire exercise in the Baltic Sea, successfully completing its first operational demonstration abroad.
