Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar on Tuesday announced signing an export contract with Albania.
"We signed an export contract for the BayraktarTB2 armed UAV with Albania," said Baykar Technologies on Twitter.
The number of countries to which the Turkish fighter drone Bayraktar TB2 is being exported has risen to 27, according to the firm.
Haluk Bayraktar, CEO of Baykar, said on Twitter: "We signed an export contract with Albania, a country we have walked along for centuries and share strong historical, cultural and humanitarian ties."
He also shared photographs from the signing ceremony.
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.

The Bayraktar TB2, Türkiye's first national and domestically developed unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), set a new record in the history of Turkish aviation by successfully completing 500,000 flight hours.
Bayraktar TB3, the world’s first UCAV capable of fully autonomous takeoff and landing from a short-runway vessel, has marked a major milestone by completing 100 successful sorties during ongoing test operations on the TCG Anadolu. The most recent trials included evaluations of its vision-based, AI-assisted fully automatic takeoff and landing systems.
Baykar and Leonardo are turning a new page in unmanned technologies by joining forces. The two tech giants have established a 50-50 joint venture, LBA Systems, headquartered in Italy. The new company will focus on the entire lifecycle of unmanned aerial systems — from design and development to production and maintenance. By combining the industrial know-how and synergy of both companies, LBA Systems aims to play a key role in shaping the future of the sector.
