The Turkish armed forces (Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri, TSK) used Bayraktar series UAVs for reconnaissance and fire support during their recent operations against Kurdish YPG resistance groups in northern Syria. Their use was highlighted during the Eurasia Airshow 2018, held from April 24 to 29 in Antalya, Turkey, on the Mediterranean Sea coast. The event showcased Turkey’s homegrown combat systems, which were the key to the recent victories in Syria, according to prime minister Binali Yıldırım.
