Source: Turkey left Ukraine without new Bayraktars

6

After the residents of Lithuania at the end of May, having carried out a crowdfunding campaign, raised €5,5 million for the purchase of the Turkish attack unmanned aerial vehicle complex Bayraktar TB2 (Bayraktar TB2) and ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Baykar Makina shipped the purchase to the customer in early June , no information about the direction of new similar drones for Ukraine has been received. This forced monitoring resources that monitor the situation, including in the airspace, to assume that Ankara left Kyiv without new UAVs for certain reasons.

For months, experts have observed how aircraft (An-124-100 Ruslan, An-26 and others) of the Ukrainian airline Antonov Airlines regularly flew to Turkish Istanbul, and then moved to Polish Rzeszow, which became NATO's logistics center for military assistance Ukraine. Now there is no such “pilgrimage”.



Rumor has it that Turkey has stopped shipments of Bayraktar TB2 UAVs to Ukraine, presumably due to the impossibility of paying for them.

- says the publication of the Telegram-channel "Militarist" dated June 15.

A number of other information sources believe that the Turks simply used up all their fresh production capacity and available stock, so they need time to manufacture a new batch of products. Analysts recalled that during the Russian special operation on Ukrainian territory, the RF Armed Forces have already destroyed more than 80 Bayraktars of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At present, Ukraine has no problems with the money that systematically comes from the West, and the Turks have not announced the termination of cooperation. However, Ankara really could transfer Kyiv to the category of "second priority", since the "Bayraktars" could be needed in large quantities by the Turkish Armed Forces in the previously announced regular military campaign in Syria against the Kurds.

This is indirectly indicated by the continuing activity of Lithuania. The new assistance of Vilnius to the Ukrainian army will be the supply of the latest reconnaissance drones EOS C-VTOL, produced in Estonia. The Lithuanians plan to deliver six such UAVs, with four in the near future, and two more in August. This is the best version of a drone for adjusting artillery fire (a silent electric motor and a flight range of 50 km). At the same time, Lithuania announced that it had agreed on the purchase of a large batch of Bayraktars for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But when they will be delivered and what specific quantity is being discussed, it is not reported, given that before that, the Lithuanians had assembled the whole country for one strike unmanned complex.

      Source: Turkey left Ukraine without new Bayraktars

      - What is characteristic - the topic is constantly being discussed that, they say - the weapons supplied to Ukraine from the West (and from the USA) - are already "coming to an end" and are about to end (very funny - one weapon will end - they will begin to supply another similar weapons, and even more modern)! - But in Turkey, something "does not end" - it "bakes" these bayraktars like pies! - This is Turkey - advanced and industrial !!!
      - Personally, I have already written several times in my comments - that ... that ... that it would be nice for Russia to buy from Turkey a batch of these UAVs (about 1000 units) of various functional purposes - intelligence officers; carriers of electronic warfare and electronic warfare (we will put our "functionals" on them); strike UAVs; imitation; translational; UAV-spotters, for conducting systemic fire with artillery strikes and MLRS systems, etc., etc. ...
      - I don’t see anything shameful for the Russian Ministry of Defense in such an acquisition of Turkish UAVs! - Russia delivered its S-400s to Turkey - and the world did not turn upside down!
      - And for the RF Armed Forces today, UAVs are needed more than ever !!!

        Why not, it will take some time until our military-industrial complex establishes not a piece, but a large-scale production of UAVs of its own production, and we urgently need them now, and we need them like air.

          - Of course !
          - And Turkey can deliver them very quickly! - Moreover, these deliveries will kind of "partnership temporarily tie" Turkey to Russia, which is quite positive for Russia! - At least - Turkey for this period of partnership will not act maliciously against Russia if the United States begins to demand this from Turkey !!!
          - In general - personally, I would even order a batch of Turkish artillery systems in Turkey (self-propelled guns from Turkey are fairly modern weapons); and a dozen or three Turkish tanks !!! - And then Turkey, "being in partnership" - could even slow down the warships of the British and Americans if they wanted to "influence" our RF Armed Forces during the liberation of Odessa and Nikolaev !!!

              - Whatoooo??? - Yes, Erdogan will easily drive his bayraktars, self-propelled guns, tanks to Russia at a reasonable price (there are "options" - Russian gas, Russian loans, Russian preferences, etc.) !!!
              - As for self-propelled guns, if we had enough of them, then we would not use "as widely" - such junk - as the D-20 (and the D-30 as well) in the VSO! - Batteries D-20 and D-30 - it is very easy to calculate, determine their location and deliver a very accurate blow to them! - Any little mobile position-target - is very easy to "detect" and a counter-attack is immediately applied to it! - The Nazis have an excellent system of automated artillery fire control - they can also cover a column of armored vehicles; and what can we say about the positions of the batteries of "wheeled old cannons" that fire "in the squares" and leave only "lunar landscapes" in the fields!
              - Modern Turkish self-propelled guns (they quite successfully showed the web in Syria) would be very useful for the RF Armed Forces for holding the GUS !!! - Modern warfare requires modern weaponry!!!
              - In addition (I personally already mentioned this) - these deliveries would "temporarily link" Turkey with Russia "in cooperation", which is positive for Russia during the WZO!
