A nearly-complete Turkish drone factory in Kyiv sustained serious damage in its fourth Russian attack since February, threatening millions in investment and months of personnel training just weeks before planned production launch.
Turkey's Bayraktar Akıncı drone completed successful weapons testing using Ukrainian AI-450T engines, demonstrating the readiness of a 5-year defense partnership between the two nations.
Turkish drone manufacturer disclosed no details about the deal, but Ukraine's MFA hinted it may be related to Kızılelma jet drone production in Ukraine.
After a long pause, Ukraine's Defense Forces released a video of the combat use of the Baykar Bayraktar TB2 UCAV, showing the destruction of a Russian patrol boat.
