Bayraktar manufacturer purchases land plot for new plant in Ukraine

The Turkish owner of Baykar has set up a company in Ukraine and has purchased a plot of land where a new production facility for Bayraktar drones will be housed.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey, Vasyl Bodnar, shared the statement in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

"The owner of the Baykar company created his Ukrainian company in Ukraine, this company has already purchased a plot of land, they have developed the project of the plant itself and intend to implement it to the end, as it was almost a personal commitment of the owners of the company to make this production in Ukraine," he said  Bodnar.

He emphasized that this decision is not only political, but also practical, since a significant part of the models that will be produced at this plant will be equipped with Ukrainian-made components.

"These can be engines, other spare parts, wheels, many different things that are high-tech in our country and can be used for these aircraft. Both before the war and now, the field of defense technology is one of the drivers of our relations. Despite the war, our companies continue to fulfill their obligations. Maybe not in such volumes as it was planned, but they do not stop working," said Bodnar.
