The statement was made by the minister while he was in Japan to attend the funeral of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “We would most gladly meet Japan’s requirement for drones,” the minister said.

After having an impact on wars in Syria, Ukraine, and Libya, Turkish drones are experiencing a surge in demand on an international scale. According to a report by Reuters on September 21, Baykar had shipped 20 weaponized drones to the United Arab Emirates by this point in the month.
