On Monday, Turkey announced that Malaysia and Indonesia had shown a strong desire to purchase armed drones from Turkish defence company Baykar, which has provided the weaponry to various nations following military victories.
“Many Asian nations, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia, express strong interest in the goods produced by our defence sector. Mevlut Cavusoglu, the foreign minister of Turkey, stated during a news conference in Tokyo that agreements were being signed.
On a trip to Japan to attend the former prime minister Shinzo Abe’s funeral, the minister further stated, “We will more than gladly supply Japan’s requirement for drones.
After their use in the crises in Libya, Syria, and the Ukraine, demand for Turkish drones has skyrocketed internationally. According to Reuters, 20 weaponized drones were recently supplied by Baykar to the UAE.
