Western and Ukrainian officials have praised Turkey's drones for playing a part in countering Russian attacks. Ukrainian troops are even singing about them. Turkey maintains close ties with both nations and is cautious about touting what has arguably become one of its most famous exports.
The "Bayraktar" has become so popular that Ukrainians are now naming their pets after the Turkish-made drone. Last month, the mayor of Kyiv announced that a newborn lemur at the city's zoo would be named Bayraktar and the foreign ministry tweeted a photo of another Bayraktar, a puppy at the Kyiv police dog training center.
Western and Ukrainian officials have praised Turkey's Bayraktar TB2 drones for playing a part in countering Russian attacks. Last month the British defense secretary Ben Wallace reportedly told UK lawmakers the drones were "delivering munitions" onto Russian "artillery and their supply lines." He added that was "incredibly important" to slow down and block the Russian advance.
