Ukrinform: Ukraine will supply engines to Turkey AI-322F engines for drones

Baykar Makina on Thursday, November 11, signed an agreement on the supply of Ukrainian-made engines for Turkish UAVs. The contact was signed within the framework of the SAHA Expo in Istanbul, Ukrinform reports.

As explained by Haluk Bayraktar, technical director of Baykar Makina, effective cooperation has been established between the company for many years. So, engines manufactured by Ivchenko-Progress are already being installed on Turkish drones Akinci, and their serial production has begun. The signed agreement will mark the beginning of the production of unmanned combat aircraft.

It is noted that the Ukrainian company will supply an AI-322F by-pass turbojet engine with an afterburner. Details of the deal were not disclosed.

Earlier it was reported that Turkey is working on a system to protect important facilities from attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system is based on the Fedai kamikaze drone, which was created to combat drones. Havelsan spokesman Nezih Şişman noted that the new system uses artificial intelligence to detect and classify targets.
