Yesterday, an agreement covering the export of Bayraktar TB2 UAVs was signed between Baykar and the Croatian Ministry of Defense in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Meanwhile, the Bayraktar TB3, produced by Baykar, achieved a historic first in world aviation on November 19. The Bayraktar TB3, classified as an armed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), made history as the first UAV to take off and land from a short runway ship. The success of the Turkish UAV was noted in the world press with the comment, "They did what the US, China, and Israel could not," while the agreement with Croatia also made headlines.

"WILL FURTHER STRENGTHEN CROATIA'S CAPABILITIES"

The daily newspaper Glas Slavonije published in Croatia emphasized "the importance of the Turkish defense system's rapid adaptation to all kinds of security situations," stating, "This unmanned aerial vehicle system will further strengthen Croatia's capabilities."

The newspaper noted that the Turkish UAV system is used in 37 countries worldwide, quoting Croatian Minister Anusic as saying, "It is important to emphasize that Bayraktar UAVs are among the best systems in the world." The report stated, "The unmanned aerial system Bayraktar TB2 has a useful and effective application in border surveillance, fire, and similar situations, meaning it can also be used by other state institutions. The configuration of the set acquired by Croatia includes six aircraft equipped with electro-optical reconnaissance cameras, including a weapon set, in both fixed and mobile versions."

"A VERY IMPORTANT INVESTMENT FOR CROATIA"

The Croatian newspaper DNEVNIK highlighted Croatia's agreement with Turkey, noting that the Croatian Ministry of Defense's agreement worth 67 million Euros, excluding taxes, is an important defense investment for Croatia. Regarding the agreement signed by Croatian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Ivan Anusic and Haluk Bayraktar, the Croatian Minister's words were included, stating, "Turkish UAVs are a much-needed system that can monitor not only combat operations but also illegal migration."

The report noted that the new UAVs could also be used by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Spatial Planning, detailing the UAV's features as follows: "The UAV agreement package includes camera-equipped and armed aircraft, as well as a command control center, training simulator, ground monitoring and control stations, ground data stations, and a spare parts starter kit sufficient for 4,000 flight hours, including all necessary equipment and maintenance."

"AN EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT THAT CHINA, THE US, THE UK, AND ISRAEL COULD NOT ACHIEVE"

On the other hand, in an analysis titled "Turkey did what Israel, China, and the US could not; did it change the future of unmanned warfare by replacing F-35s with drones? Here’s what we know," india.com referred to the Bayraktar TB3 test, stating, "Turkey successfully tested the Baykar Bayraktar TB3 unmanned aerial vehicle, which took off and landed from the Turkish Navy's warship TCG Anadolu. This is an extraordinary achievement that even global military powers like China, the US, the UK, or Israel have not yet accomplished," and added, "This extraordinary achievement has the potential to render traditional manned combat aircraft, like the US-made F-35s, obsolete, as unmanned combat aircraft can perform the same missions without the need for a human pilot."

"CAN BE USED FOR SURVEILLANCE AND ESPIONAGE MISSIONS"

The analysis detailing the capabilities of the Bayraktar TB3 stated, "The UAV, developed and produced by Baykar, a specialized Turkish defense company in C4I and artificial intelligence, can be equipped with small and precise munitions, including missiles for attack missions. According to a report in Milliyet, the unmanned aerial vehicle, first introduced by Baykar Defense CTO Selçuk Bayraktar on October 29, 2020, can also be used for surveillance and espionage missions." The analysis also included Selçuk Bayraktar's words, who is noted to be the son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stating, "We have developed a unique aircraft that can land on an aircraft carrier."
