The European Union and Ukraine signed a comprehensive agreement for joint production and capacity expansion of unmanned aerial vehicles. The agreement aims to combine the EU's industrial infrastructure with Ukraine's combat-proven UAV technology and operational experience.

The Italian government has granted approval to the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) production partnership between Turkish defense leader Baykar and state-controlled Leonardo. Structured as a 50-50 equal partnership, the agreement aims to address Europe's strategic gap in unmanned systems technology.

During an economic mission to Turkey, Belgian Queen Mathilde visited Baykar's National Technology Center. Selçuk Bayraktar presented the company's unmanned aerial vehicles and kamikaze platforms to the delegation.

The Turkish defense industry participated in DIMDEX 2024 in Doha with 39 companies, showcasing advanced technologies in land, naval, and aerial platforms.

Turkey’s defense industry achieved major milestones in 2019, advancing air, land, naval, missile and electronic systems while strengthening the operational capabilities of national security forces.
