Turkey will employ indigenous armed drones to fight terror.
Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar briefed the country’s political leadership on indigenous attack helicopters and armed drones, as well as updates on the army’s fight against terror during a cabinet meeting on May 2, Hurriyet quoted unnamed sources as saying Tuesday.
Turkey will begin to employ indigenous armed drones in the fight against terror, Hulusi reportedly told President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.
Turkey’s top defense procurement official and head of the Under secretariat for Defense Industries (SSM), İsmail Demir, recently told daily Hürriyet that armed drones could be employed for the protection of Kilis.
“It is difficult to detect and fight with them [rockets] technologically ahead of their firing. There are several countries which are in an active fight with such early systems, but even their systems reach partial success. The best method is to develop and have a capability that will monitor the region which is under threat and to hit this target immediately. Armed drones constitute a good example here,” Demir said, during an exclusive interview at the protection hub of Turkey’s Roketsan.
“The point is here to be able to make products with the capability of destroying and monitoring with receptivity of higher quality at home. Our aim is to reach 100 percent locality in such products, as the dependability on foreign sources in these fields is always a problem,” he added.
