Bayraktar TB2:
Turkey’s much-hyped Bayraktar TB2 drones have suffered a devastating reputational blow after Pakistan’s Turkish-origin drone fleet failed spectacularly during Operation Sindoor. Bayraktar TB2 is a Turkish-made Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and precision strike missions.
It is Turkey’s first domestically developed armed UAV. It is an effective, low-cost platform that can be produced with commercial, off-the-shelf parts, which drives down cost and makes maintenance affordable for many countries.
