Ukraine’s Minister for Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, announced the information on the United News telethon.

"As for the plant, construction work has already begun, it is now being built in reality, not just in the memorandum. However, the memorandum encompasses more than just the construction of the plant, which I cannot talk about yet," emphasized Kamyshin.

Earlier, on July 8, during the visit of the President of Ukraine to Turkey, a new memorandum was signed with the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey on the development of capacities and capabilities for the production of various types of UAVs.

"Production on the territory of Ukraine is in question, this is the same large Bayraktar drones plant that was agreed upon a few years ago. Progress on the plant has faced delays and controversies in the past. Today, this plant is being built, we have moved on to tangible steps," the minister said.

Information available regarding the Bayraktar production plant

On August 8, 2022, media reported that Haluk Bayraktar had purchased a site in Ukraine for the construction of a Bayraktar drone manufacturing plant.

On September 1, 2022, the CEO of Baykar stated that despite the ongoing war, there were no intentions to cancel the plans for building a plant in Ukraine.

On October 28, 2022, Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar said that despite some obstacles, the plan to build a plant in Ukraine was progressing. 

Also, on April 30, Ukraine signed 3 new agreements with Baykar, the manufacturer of Bayraktar drones, following its participation in the international aviation exhibition Teknofest 2023 in Turkey.
