Bosnia and Herzegovina is set to receive Kirpi II armored vehicles from Türkiye in March, the country's Defense Ministry has announced.

In a statement, the ministry noted that Defense Minister Zukan Helez met with representatives from BMC, one of Türkiye's leading producers of commercial and defense vehicles.

Türkiye controls 65 percent of the global unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market, according to Selçuk Bayraktar, the chairman and chief technology officer of Turkish drone maker Baykar.

Speaking at the "Take Off Istanbul" event, he said Baykar's Bayraktar TB2, the world's most famous combat UAV, took off in 2014, and the Bayraktar AKINCI made its first flight in 2019.

Baykar's Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) has reached a major milestone, logging over 1 million flight hours, the company has announced.

The achievement cements its place in Turkish aviation history as the first and only domestically developed combat aircraft to surpass this benchmark since entering service in 2014.

Türkiye's Bayraktar TB3 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) achieved a milestone in aviation history by becoming the first drone to take off and land successfully on a short-deck ship.

The milestone was reached on Tuesday, as the TB3 operated from the short-runway carrier TCG Anadolu.

Türkiye has emerged as the world's largest supplier of unmanned aerial vehicles and armed drones, according to a U.S.-based think tank.

A report issued earlier this month by the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) said Türkiye, China and the United States have collectively made 69 armed military drone sales to 40 different countries since 2018.
