Turkish company Baykar twitted it will donate three Bayraktar TB2 drones to Ukraine free of charge.
The company stated it was informed about the People’s Bayraktar fundraising initiative. They decided to donate three Bayraktar TB2s for free due to the determination of the Ukrainian people, they decided.
“Business leaders and ordinary people alike contributed funds – small and large – to reach this milestone within a matter of a few days’ time. Baykar will not accept payment for the TB2s and will send 3 UAVs free of charge to the Ukrainian war front. Instead, we ask that raised funds be remitted instead to struggling the people of Ukraine. We are touched by this solidarity and resolve in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges,” the statement reads.
