Bayraktar TB2 has been exported to Libya, Qatar, Ukraine and Azerbaijan till now. The armed drone proved its success first in Turkey by killing thousands of PKK terrorists. The PKK has not become influential in Turkey since drones are in service. TB2 was then used against Syrian regime which tried to seize Idlib in January and February 2020. After a humiliating defeat by Bayraktar, the regime had to stop on outskirts of Idlib. Tens of armored vehicles, tanks and Panstsir missile systems were trashed by the novel drone during the Idlib operation.
Bayraktar’s next accomplishment was witnessed in Libya, where it forced Haftar’s militants to withdraw from the vicinity of Tripoli. Analysts say the legitimate GNA government would not survive, had there not been TB2 drones.
