Turkey is "playing with fire" with Russia, and just when Russia is about to win the Russian-Ukrainian war, it is sticking a knife in the back of the people at war!
According to the Greek Pentapostagma on February 12, Russian drones attacked a seaport in the city of Odessa one after another, and Turkish F-16 warplanes even responded and monitored it. What's more, Erdogan's son-in-law, Turkey, has announced an investment in the construction of a plant for unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine.
Erdogan's uncle, Bajkar, told Reuters at the World Defense Exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that a plant to produce TB-2 and TB-3 Braktar unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will soon be built in Kyiv. It is reported that Baykar, a Turkish producer of unmanned aerial vehicles, intends to build a new production base in Kiev within a year. The program will cost $95 million to produce 120 TB-2 and TB-3 Bayraktar unmanned reconnaissance aircraft per year, and will be carried out without the impact of war.
The Bayraktar "Bannerman" is a self-developed Turkish combat drone that was once famous for the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh. Ukraine has introduced from Turkey a batch of military drones of the TB2 "Bannerman" type, this model for 2018-2020. Andre. Lieutenant General Benjamin, deputy commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, told ** that since the beginning of this air strike, the Russian Air Force has destroyed more than 100 Turkish-made "Bannerman" drones.
The war has been going on for three years, and Ukraine has been looking for a new way to deal with Russian forces, that is, to massively use unmanned aircraft to strike ** in depth. Ukraine has built more than 300,000 models of drones in the past year alone, and more than 100,000 have already been put on the battlefield. Recently, Ukraine has frequently used unmanned aircraft to bomb Russian territory, which has dealt several heavy blows to Russia's economy and Russia's oil and gas equipment.
It is clear that Erdogan's son-in-law built a drone factory in Ukraine, striking a "counter-attack" to the people of the war, which soon strained relations between Ankara and Moscow. According to an independent report by Greece's Pentapostagma, Russia** Putin is very angry about Erdogan's son-in-law's construction of a TB-2-TB-3 Braktar drone factory in Ukraine, and Putin's planned trip to Turkey on the 12th has also been postponed.
Turkish correspondent Murat Yatkin reported that Demitri Bellick, a deputy to the Russian parliament of Putin's "United Russia" party, told the Russian news network (LentaRU) made fiery statements claiming that Russia has no right to ban Turkey, but "has the right to fight back" and that a drone factory built by Turkey in Ukraine will be a "legitimate target" for the Russian Air Force.
Russia claims not only to "blow up a drone factory in Turkey," but also to build a drone plant in Ukraine. Just two days after Erdogan's son-in-law set up a TB-2-TB-3 Bayraktar drone in Kyiv, Russia immediately announced that it was building a drone manufacturing plant in Ukraine to show that its army would never withdraw from Ukraine. The report of the Greek Pentapostagma notes that this move by Russia is tantamount to a "slap in the face" to Erdogan.
In fact, since August of this year, Russia has issued a stern warning to Turkey, asking them to stop building a drone facility in Ukraine. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at that time that if Ukraine had the ability to manufacture Turkish "Flagman" drones, it would definitely be destroyed.
It is worth mentioning that just after Turkey announced that it would build an unmanned factory in Ukraine, Jeff Fleck, the US in Turkey, suddenly announced that the US Congress had passed the approval procedures for Turkish F-16 fighters, and the US Congress also passed a resolution this week to allow Turkey to purchase 40 new F-16 fighters and 79 updated F-16 fighters. This also means that for Turkey, they have long wanted to get F16 fighters.
For the sake of glory, betray allies, which is why those fighting peoples will issue slogans like "blow up their factories".
