Turkish defence firm beats competition from US, Europe and China while raising to 28 the number of countries that ordered the Bayraktar TB2 drones.
Testing of domestic missiles is continuing, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says, adding such tests are "scaring" Greece.
Manufacturing of the unmanned aircraft Kizilelma is a very critical and strategic project, says manufacturer Baykar's CEO.
With the slogan "the wind is blowing from the Black Sea", the six-day event showcases the country's latest advancements in technology, especially in the field of UAVs.
Baykar’s move comes after a Ukrainian crowdfunding campaign raised enough money to buy several unmanned aerial vehicles.
The unmanned aerial vehicle by Baykar has flown to an altitude of 13,716 meters (45,118 feet) during a test flight.
Turkish defence firm says it's donating its admired Bayraktar TB2 drone to Lithuania, after learning the eastern European country was raising funds to buy a drone for its embattled neighbour, Ukraine.
Bayraktar Kizilelma will have aggressive manoeuvres, advanced artificial intelligence and the ability to carry out air-to-air combat like manned warplanes.
Turkish military might is rapidly increasing thanks to its drone technology and investments in the domestic armament industry which for a long time was dependent on imports, says La Croix.
"The pioneer of National Technology Initiative and locally produced drones and our guide Ozdemir Bayraktar, passed away at the age of 72," the company said in a statement.
Baykar Technologies releases conceptual design images of its new aircraft system for the first time.
After recent agreements with Poland and Ukraine, Albania will become the next buyer of Turkish combat drones, which are high in demand.
