Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkiye is the world’s largest manufacturer of UAVs, with Turkish companies accounting for 65 percent of all UAV global sales from 2018 to the present. According to him, along with the production of drones, in the foreseeable future, Turkiye will focus on the development of various combat platforms: from unmanned and autonomous naval vehicles to underwater platforms and aircraft carriers.
