Reznikov announced the receipt of dozens of Bayraktar/Wikipedia for an additional “batch” of Bayraktar. In addition to the one that the Ukrainians collected.
Only from February 24, the Ministry of Defense put up to fifty Bayraktar into service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine will receive several more drones contracted and paid for by the Ministry of Defense in July.
Almost all the facilities of the Baykar Makina plant will be used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that the department received a new request from the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.< /p>
Thus, in the near future, almost all the capacities of the Baykar Makina plant will be focused on meeting the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We are talking about ordering dozens more drones,” Reznikov said.
Bayraktar plant to be built in Ukraine
In 2021, Ukraine and Bayraktar developers agreed to build a joint plant for the production of these drones in Ukraine. According to Reznikov, the defense departments of Ukraine and Turkey are communicating with each other and continue to work on the implementation of the plant construction project.
The minister stressed that “these are medium-term plans. And they will be implemented” and thanked for the position and support Turkish Defense Minister General Hulusi Akar.
He also thanked all Ukrainians who joined the initiative of volunteers to raise funds for our victory.
I personally, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, once again sincerely thank everyone who joined the initiative volunteers to raise funds for our victory. People from all corners of Ukraine: from Lvov to Donetsk, from Kyiv to Simferopol, all those who are far from Ukraine today, all of you are incredible,” the Minister of Defense wrote.
He stressed that no army the united people will overcome this way.
The company producing Bayraktar is donating drones to Ukraine for the second time.
The other day, Ukrainians and volunteers collected the amount to buy four UAVs.
The Ministry of Defense was supposed to contract this “purchase”, but the Baykar Makina company decided to make a gift by donating 3 drones, for which it was originally intended.
All the funds raised by the volunteers can be used by them for other useful and important things.
