Bayraktar TB2
Bayraktar TB2 is a tactical-class armed unmanned aerial vehicle (UCAV) built by Baykar. It performs intelligence, surveillance and precision-strike missions and became Turkey's best-known defense export product after high-profile operational use from Libya to Ukraine.
Deliveries typically include munitions (MAM family), ground control stations and operator training. There is no public list price — contract value depends on configuration, support package and country.
