Construction of the Bayraktar plant near Kyiv has begun

Citing the company's CEO, Seljuk Bayraktar, Reuters reported that the Turkish "Baykar" aircraft construction company has started constructing a factory near Kyiv, where "Bayraktar" TB2 or TB3 uncrewed aerial vehicles will be produced. 

"Our factory is under construction... We need 12 months to complete the construction. Then we will move on to internal equipment and organizational structure," Bayraktar told Reuters in an interview at the World Defense Show military exhibition in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. It is planned to employ up to 500 people in the factory. It will be able to produce up to 120 ATS per year.
