After Syria, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh: Ukraine To Use Turkish Drones for War in Donbass, Black Sea
Turkish and Ukrainian news sources announced on July 15 that the Ukrainian Naval Forces Command has received the first Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles from Turkey, a fact confirmed by Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Taran. Two weeks ago Ukraine deployed one of the Turkish combat drones for the joint U.S.-Ukraine-hosted 32-nation Sea Breeze war games in the Black Sea. The Ukrainian army already possesses Bayraktar TB2s, but now they will enter the navy’s arsenal as well.
Kiev had ordered the drones as well as MILGEM Ada-class anti-submarine warfare corvettes from Turkey late last year. (Guess who the latter will be used against.) The corvettes are the same model as those Turkey is building for Pakistan, its strategic ally in the Ankara-Baku-Islamabad military axis.
