Last week, Baykar Makina's CEO of Bayina Bayraktar said that the newest Bayraktar Akinci drone may appear in the Armed Forces Arsenal in the near future. "There are questions about Bayraktar Akinci in the process of consideration, as far as I know. The Ukrainian military is well aware of what we are producing and investing in," he explained. In July, the construction of the plant began, which will last for a year and a half. The investment in the plant was $ 100 million.
Among other things, a technopark for 300 thousand square meters will appear in the Kiev region. m. Defense Express Ivan Kirichevsky explained that it is a difficult drone, which is unlikely to be ready immediately when a red ribbon is cut at the plant. "Obviously, they will first deploy production and draw the first Bayraktar TB2, and the localization of AKINCI will be the next step," the analyst explained.
According to him, it is quite logical, because you must first understand how much TB2 will be produced at Ukrainian capacities and when you need to go to Akinci. It is not necessary to talk about the scale and volume of output. "In the end, AKINCI export supply has not yet been observed. There were some signals that Azerbaijan could get the first, but so far without confirmation," the expert explained, adding that the Armed Forces would simply be transferred to high -tech drones.
