Serbia has reiterated its intention to acquire Turkish combat drones as its president on Saturday vowed to further strengthen the country’s defenses, TurkicWorld reports citing Daily Sabah.
“We will strengthen our aviation. We will also increase the number of drones,” Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told reporters after Serbian military forces completed their exercise named “Fire Shield 2022.”
Vucic said that during their talks last week, he asked President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to supply Serbia with landmark unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Bayraktar TB2s, which have provided successful results and made a meaningful impact in several regional conflicts.
“Two days ago, at a meeting with the President of Turkey Erdogan, I said that we want to buy Bayraktar from Turkey, and Erdoğan promised me that we can get them,” the president said.
