A new video has appeared on social networks, which shows how the front and combat operations in Ukraine are seen by “Bayraktar” mini-drones, which were received by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The recording was received by the administrators of the Ukrane Weapons Tracker page, who note that these drones are used for reconnaissance and correction of artillery fire, unlike their larger “brothers”, which the Ukrainians used to stop numerous convoys of armored vehicles. and convoys of Russian trucks in the first weeks of the invasion launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24.

Ukraine received 24 mini-Bayraktar drones free of charge from the Istanbul company Baykar, which produces them, the number of which is unknown after almost 6 months of war.

Ukrainian forces began using the “mini” version of Bayraktar drones in April.

A report published by the Royal Joint Services Institute in London last month said the average life of a drone used by the Ukrainians during the war was just one week, but that statistic also included commercial drones converted for use against Russian invasion forces .

Bayraktar drones are also envied by the Russians

This month the Russians managed to shoot down one of the Bayraktar TB2 drones that the Ukrainians received before the start of the war, the fact that it lasted so long in the conflict is a testament to the reliability of these Turkish-made drones.

Another indication of their success during the war in Ukraine is the fact that Russia gave its allies a fake Bayraktar TB2 drone, which it says was captured by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

The drone was exhibited at the “Army 2022” forum organized in Moscow, where there were several involuntary comic moments.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan said late last month that Vladimir Putin had offered Russia cooperation with Baykar, an Istanbul-based company that makes Bayraktar TB2 drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles.

The managers of the Turkish company Bayraktar brothers ruled out such a possibility, instead they agreed with Ukraine on the construction of a factory for the production of drones on its territory.
