Turkish company Baykar Defense has revolutionized modern battles by producing cutting -edge drones that show tentacles around the world. The world began to notice the skill of a biker when the Bilctal TB-2 won the fame in the Nagorno Calabuff War between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the September 2020 war.
Later, the TB2 drone battle performance in Ukraine caused international interests, and the buyer ordered immediately. Later, Baykar became known as one of the most successful drone manufacturers in the world.
Baykar’s progress has greatly contributed to the rise of Turkish meteor as a weapon manufacturer and exporter. Today, it has emerged as a global symbol of Turkey’s military power, and more than 80 % of the revenue has been from exports.
This is not a normal feat for Turkey. Turkey was the third largest weapon importer in the world in the early 2000s. However, the dependence on foreign military imports dramatically dropped from about 80 % in 2004 to less than 20 % today. Baykar is one of the companies that is an unusual growth engine.
Today, the UAV produced by Baykar is deployed on a variety of battlefields around the world, proving the fighting power in various regions and environments.
Baykar was not always a big company under the surveillance of SELCUC BAYRAKTAR, Chairman and CTO (CTO), and his brother Haluk Bayraktar.

It used to be a dream of one Dream of Musdemir Bilactal. He just wanted to support Turkish efforts to make the national automotive industry indigenous.
How was the biker born?
Born in 1949, Ozdemir graduated from Istanbourg Institute of Technology in Mechanical Engineering in 1972. Ozedmir established a biker as a biker Makina in 1984 to produce other components, such as other components that support the indigenous engineering of the engine, pump, and the Turkish car industry.

“No scratch!” China claims that the 55 destroyer supported by the drone mothership has repelled the U.S. Navy fleet in a war game.
The company began production of automotive machine parts in 1986.
Baykar was established as an engineering company with competitive domestic capital and became 100 % Turkish. After producing automotive parts for several years, the company began producing unmanned aircraft in the early 2000s.
At dawn of the 21st century in 2000, Baykar started R & D (R & D) with an unmanned aircraft system (UAVS). This was a branch point in the history of the company, and it was the moment to change the fate of Turkey and the fate of Turkey.
A few years later, in 2004, Baykar implemented the first UAV flight using indigenous electronic systems and software systems. This was a big milestone for the company.
Several accounts suggest that Ozdemir has decided to manufacture UAV with his son, Selcuk. He was a doctorate candidate for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and studied an uninhabited aviation system. In 2005, Celtuk bylactal took it to the development of advanced drone technology.

He called on Turkish officials to invest in drone technology.
“If Turkey supports this project, these drones can be at the forefront of this field five years later.”
The bidding of “MINI UAV” was issued, and in the second half of the same year, the company conducted an automatic flight demonstration of Bayraktar Mini UV at the Turkish aerospace industry (TAI) facility. Drone development and production began in 2006.
The success of the mini UAV was released in R & D in the Rotary Wing Mini UAV in 2006.
Later, Rotary Wing Mini UAV was also distributed in 2009.
Following this, a new era of drone manufacturing has begun with Baker. Subsequently, Turkish tactical UAV system programs have progressed, developing Bayrakter TB1, and eventually developing TB2 UAV.

Search for Baykar with tactical UAV development
Baykar has created a UAV program UAV UAV for Turkish National Defense Industry (Savunma Sanayiiiiiiiiiiusarligi, or SSM).
In 2009, Kale Group and Baykar Technologies worked together to form KALE-BAYKAR. They introduced tactical UAVs, along with the twin redundant avionics systems and Turkish officials with completely autonomous takeoff and landing abilities. The aircraft was selected as a program winner in 2010.
Bayrakter TB1 was just a prototype and had never been delivered to the army. However, it became the basis of the popular Bayrakter TB2 UAV production.
With the development of TB2, rapid progress was made. TB2 was developed by the development of TB2, a twin engine propeller aircraft, which is enough to carry a missile that could attack a target up to 8 kilometers away from accuracy. TB2’s tactical UAV visited the sky in 2014 for a test flight, and the first batch was delivered to the Turkish army in the same year.
TB2 later ordered the reputation of being the world’s most popular drone. When it was deployed by Turkey in the “Operations of Operation Euphrates” in northern Syria in 2016, he first created a headline.
This marked the first killing by TB2. Drone demonstrates extraordinary combat performance on the battlefield, including a 2020 dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Fleet of Nagorno Karabuff, the War of the Ukraine, and the Azerbaijan and Armenia in multiple African countries.
As New Yorkers mentioned in a previous article, TB2 said, “It brought a precision aerial attack tactic to developing countries and reversed some war courses.”
Qatar became the first country of purchasing TB2 in 2018, followed by Ukraine. To date, more than 20 countries have purchased TB2 UAVs, which is the biggest success story of Baykar. In addition to TB2, Baykar produces some of the highest unmanned aircraft (UAV) of AKINCI, Kizilelma, and TB3.
Based on the success, production and export of TB2, Baykar continued to develop AKINCI. The drone was delivered to the Turkish army in 2021.
Bayrakter Akinci, named after the Turkish of Raider, is a long -term drone that can be armed with weapons. Drones are equipped with various air -to -air and ground missiles.
According to Baykar, drones can carry out the same operation as fighters and carry various payloads. AKıncı can target land and air. You can fly higher and stay in the air longer than the current drone fleet in Türkiye.
Akin supported the search and rescue after Iran’s chopper transported former President Ebrahim Lisha in May 2024. Akinki has already been purchased by Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Libya, Ethiopia, Burkinafaso, and Mari.
In addition, at least two countries, including Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyystin, are interested in drones.
The next one will surprise the world. Kijirelma won the first flight in 2022. A lecture at Techno Fest in 2022, Serk Bayractal stated: We have been waiting for it for 20 years. “
Kizilelma, developed by Baykar, is expected to carry out a wide range of military operations, such as close air support (CAS), air -defensive air defense (SEAD), and destruction of enemy air defense, with unmanned fighter jets. Masu. I died).
Turkey’s uninhabited aircraft is expected to fly for 5 hours and move at a speed of 800 km / h or a Mach 0.64 speed. The maximum takeoff weight is 6 tons, and the drone is planned to have a 1,500 kilogram payload capacity.
According to reports, the aircraft could fly with Türkiye’s future fifth -generation aircraft, KAAN.
In addition to Kizilelma, the company has developed TB-3. The TB-3 is a career tail version of Bayrakter TB2 drone, which is larger and larger than TB2.
Due to the foldable wings and the ability to take off from the short runway, the TB3 is set to be the first battle drone in a history that can be launched and landed on a short runway such as TCG Anaddor.
TB3 UCAV can use intelligence, reconnaissance, monitoring, and attack missions using smart weapons installed under the wings. Last year, TB3 entered the flight test stage, made an impressive flight of 32 hours during the test in December, setting a new record of Bayrakter class UAV. TB3 started mass production last year.
Ozdemir Baylactal, the founder of the aerospace giant, died in 2021. However, the heritage he has left is still alive.
41 years after the setup, Baykar was able to become a global leader in Turkish aerospace and UAV manufacturing, as SELCUK BAYRAKTAR stated. This is a “innovative” feat.
“I have more confidence in young people, startups, and technology companies in the defense industry (Baykar’s success),” he said in his previous exchange.
