Turkish drones have become a point of interest that most military experts would not assume until the war in Ukraine. They mainly flew Syria, Libya, and Armenia, where the air defence systems are weak. The war in Ukraine changed the perception because Russia has its own robust air defence systems. The S-400 hit the Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker but not TB2. While the flight of UAVs is a source of morale for Ukrainian civilians, Asia pays more and more interest to them. The CEO of Baykar Technologies, Haluk Bayraktar spoke about their system to Japanese Nikkei Asia Daily.
