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.
Turkish drone magnate Baykar has delivered the first batch of Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) to Poland after signing an agreement back in 2021, a Baykar official said Friday.
Poland received the first Bayraktar drones. “There is no modern army without modern drones,” Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz Błaszczak stated and added that “we still strengthen the capabilities of the Polish Armed Forces.”
