Albania has set aside a budget of $9.7 million for buying armed Turkish drones, the Turkish news channel TRT World reported on Friday.
The Albanian parliament approved that budget for the country’s Ministry of Defence to buy the drones, TRT said.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was in Turkey in early June with cabinet members, including Interior Minister Bledi Cuci. Cuci visited Baykar Defence, the developer of many of Turkey’s drones, including the Bayraktar TB2, and said that his country is “evaluating the possibility of using Turkish UCAVs (unmanned combat aerial vehicles) for civilian and military purposes in Albania.”
