Russian troops destroyed almost all of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It has been reported business insider.
Analyst Samuel Bendett said that UAVs like Bayraktar TB2 work well in conditions where the enemy does not have advanced air defense (air defense) systems and electronic warfare (EW) systems. But Russian troops quickly resorted to electronic warfare systems and shot down large numbers of Ukrainian drones.
Bendett said Bayraktar, a relatively slow and low-flying drone, could be targeted by a range of quality air defense systems. The expert said this was demonstrated by the conflicts in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh.
The analyst added that Ukrainian troops lost an important strategic offensive weapon. Turkish UAVs remaining in the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be used for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes without being used in battles.
Since 2018, Turkey has been providing the Bayraktar TB-2 attack aircraft produced by the private company Baykar Makina to Ukraine.
