Arestovich explains why the Bayraktars have not been seen working at the front lately
Drones continue to be used by Ukrainian defenders.
OPU adviser Aleksey Arestovich explained why the work of "Bayraktarov" has not been seen at the front lately. In particular, he noted that Ukraine has not abandoned the use of drones:
Everything is fine with Bayraktars. Andrey Yermak went to the factory in Turkey a month ago for a reason. Everything is fine with the "Bayraktars", we just do not stick them out. They do not appear in our every second message: “Bayraktars” won, “Bayraktars” this, “Bayraktars” this. They work, but we just don’t focus on this topic, we don’t pedal it
According to an adviser to the OPU, this is a "wise move", given the position of Turkey and its role as an intermediary in the negotiations on the exchange of prisoners.
Bayraktar TB2 is a Turkish strike operational-tactical medium-altitude UAV with an internal combustion engine and a pusher-type propeller. Bayraktar TB2 with 4 guided munitions on the suspension can be in the air from 12 to 24 hours. It can be used for reconnaissance, surveillance or strikes.
