Baykar is the world's largest armed UAV exporter; our country holds 65% of the armed UAV export market, Baykar alone holds 60%, and Baykar—the world's largest armed UAV manufacturer that earns 90% of its revenues from exports—has exported armed UAVs to 37 countries, not just from our immediate region.

Japan had been interested for years, but especially in the most recent developments a much more effective demonstration was carried out and all capabilities were shown.

What our armed UAVs offer is that they deliver the world's most advanced technology in the most cost‑effective way, and especially when you consider the payloads and the family of munitions fitted to them—I am referring to the advanced electro‑optical systems developed by ROKETSAN, ASELSAN, and TÜBİTAK.

So imagine we're talking about a camera system assigned to an air defense system at thirty kilometers or sixty kilometers out. These are very complex systems with thermal sensors for night and day or with daytime cameras. They have been made domestically in Turkey and are twice as good as their foreign counterparts.

We even line up the aircraft side by side, and when they arrive we say, “Look: give it with this camera or with that camera — you choose.”

Naturally, they pick whichever is best, and ASELSAN's becomes the preferred choice. It wasn't like that before. For about two to three years they have been developing cameras that deliver twice the performance.

Besides, in our munitions family—the munitions family developed by Turkey, the smart munitions family—there are supersonic missiles; that is, from the Bayraktar TB3, munitions that travel at four times the speed of sound and reach 100,000 feet are launched.

This doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. Turkey offers dozens of different munition options. Therefore, when you look from the perspective of the blacks, it becomes the most advanced weapon in the world.

That's why countries choose it, and in a sense our country uses this to strengthen diplomatic ties with all the countries it works with.

In a sense, our friendship relations with all of these countries become much more consolidated.

We are not only in the defense industry; in the defense industry our country has achieved a very great success. The whole world appreciates this.
