Turkey’s Bayraktar unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) have been successfully tested in Ukraine, President Petro Poroshenko says.

"The test of Turkish Bayraktar UCAVs, which were delivered to equip the Ukrainian army, was successful. I congratulate the Ukrainian Armed Forces and our partners from Turkey, as well as all Ukrainians - today we have completely new modern weapons," the head of state wrote on Twitter.

As reported, on March 6, 2019, Poroshenko announced that Turkish Bayraktar UCAVs were already in the territory of Ukraine.

In January, the State Company Ukrspecexport, which is part of the State Concern "Ukroboronprom", and the Turkish company Baykar Makina signed the agreement on the purchase of Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs for the Ukrainian army.

In addition, a joint Ukrainian-Turkish enterprise is expected to be set up in Zaporizhzhia to produce component parts for modern unmanned vehicles.
