Bayraktar TB2, Türkiye’s first original indigenous UCAV, has become the first Turkish aircraft to surpass 1 million flight hours. Adding yet another milestone to its record-breaking achievements, the indigenous UCAV has once again made its mark on Turkish aviation history by setting an extraordinary benchmark.
The Romanian Land Forces started the reception procedures for the equipment of the first Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aircraft system this week, the Ministry of Defense (MApN) announced. Once this stage is completed, estimated for late June-early July, Romanian pilots will begin their training flights.
Türkiye’s new unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), tailored for the country’s newly commissioned aircraft carrier, on Friday successfully took to the sky for its inaugural flight, its developer announced.
