Quote: "The plant has actually started to be built, rather than just being a memorandum. This is the huge Bayraktar facility that we agreed on a few years ago; back then, there were interruptions and scandals. The plant is now starting to be built, and we have taken real steps," he said.

Details: On Saturday, 8 July, the Minister of Strategic Industries signed a new memorandum with the Ministry of Industry and Technology of Türkiye to develop capacities and capabilities for producing various types of UAVs.

Kamyshyn said these are other kinds of production that cannot be discussed at this time.

Background: In June, the Turkish company Baykar received licensing permits from the authorities to produce Bayraktar TB2 and Akıncı drones in Ukraine.

Earlier, Baykar established production in Ukraine and acquired a land plot for construction.
