In 2019, Ukraine bought six such drones from Turkey for the first time under a 9 million deal. Moscow then complained to Ankara about this. According to international media reports, Ukrainian drones used the drone for the first time on February 27 to destroy Russia's artillery system and armored vehicles.
This drone from Turkey has gained wide popularity in Ukraine. And so ordinary citizens of Ukraine recently began raising funds to buy it from Turkey to deter Russian forces. Meanwhile, Ankara announced the gift of three drones to Kiev.
