Turkish drone magnate Baykar has finalized an export contract worth $367 million with the Kuwaiti government on Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), the company and the Kuwaiti army announced Tuesday.
“We have successfully completed the contract process with the Government of Kuwait on the export of domestically made Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs,” Baykar said in a statement posted on Twitter.
The statement added that the drone, which has broken a record by flying continuously for 27 hours and three minutes in difficult geographical and climatic conditions such as high temperatures and sandstorms, will be on duty in Kuwaiti airspace.
Meanwhile, both statements did not reveal how many drones would be delivered to Kuwait or when.
The State of Kuwait would be the 28th country in the world to conclude a contract for the Bayraktar TB2 drones.
The negotiations between Baykar and the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense started in 2019.
