Turkey’s killer Bayraktar drones to become video game
What started out as a budding idea just a few days ago (on March 9) is slowly starting to take shape as British coder diligently shares progress
A British coder, author, and cat lover, Sarah Jane Avory, is determined to create a video game inspired by Turkey’s globally lauded Bayraktar drones, which the international press has branded as “killer,” and donate all the proceeds to Ukraine as Russia forges on with its invasion.
Avory said that the game will comprise of destroying tanks and air defense systems with the Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicle, according to a tweet she re-shared after reportedly speaking to the Turkish platform Gundeme Dair Her Sey.
The Bayraktar TB2 entered the Turkish army’s inventory in 2014 and is currently used by several other countries, including Qatar and Azerbaijan.
Turkey has used its cutting-edge drones effectively over the years in cross-border anti-terror military operations such as Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch, and Spring Shield to liberate areas near the Syrian border from terrorist groups.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces purchased six Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and three ground control stations from Turkey in 2019, which were delivered in two months.
In 2021, the first batch of TB2s was delivered to the Ukrainian Naval Forces.
Turkish drones are also said to have played a crucial role in last year's six-week war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
