Ankara: Turkey is set to deliver an unspecified number of armed drones to Kuwait under a $370 million contract, Turkish defence firm Baykar announced on Wednesday.
International interest in Baykar’s TB2 drones grew after they were used in conflicts in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan, and it grew even more after they were used by Ukraine’s military to thwart Russian forces.
“A contract worth $370 million was signed with Kuwait Defence Ministry to export Bayraktar TB2 drones,” Baykar said in a statement
The statement did not specify how many drones would be delivered to Kuwait or when they would arrive.
“Baykar won out in competition with significant firms from America, Europe, and China, in the (bidding) process going on since 2019,” the statement stated.
It added that with Kuwait the number of countries that signed contracts for the Bayraktar TB2 had increased to 28.
