“The UK is interested in Turkish drones' says Turkey’s minister of industry and technology. 'Now they have to decide. And now they're seriously considering these options”
Aksungur is one of the Turkish drones made by Turkish Aerospace Industries which broke the record staying in the air for 59 hours.
Turkey has presented options to the UK for the sale of armed drones, the Turkish industry and technology minister said on Friday. "The UK is very interested in Turkish armed drones. Now, they have to decide. We presented them with the options. Right now, they're seriously considering these options," Mustafa Varank told CNN Turk in an exclusive interview.
"I believe that in the very near future, we'll see Bayraktar and Anka purchased from Turkey flying in European skies, as well," Varank had said earlier this year during an event jointly organised by the Istanbul Defense and Aerospace Cluster Association and Istanbul Chamber of Industry on Jan. 21.He also noted that in a previous speech, UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace had said Turkish UAVs were a "game changer.
Turkey's defence and aviation revenue has reached $12 billion annually, Varank said, adding that its defense exports had risen from $340 million in 2005 to $3 billion last year.
