ANKARA: Turkey said Malaysia and Indonesia had expressed keen interest in buying armed drones from Turkish defence firm Baykar, which has supplied the weapons to several countries after battlefield successes.

“Many Asian countries, especially Malaysia and Indonesia, show great interest in our defence industry products. Agreements are being signed,” Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told a press conference in Tokyo.


“We would most gladly meet Japan’s need for drones,” the minister added, on a visit there to attend the funeral of former prime minister Shinzo Abe.

International demand for Turkish drones has soared after their impact on conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and Libya.


On Sept 21, Reuters reported that Baykar delivered 20 armed drones to the United Arab Emirates this month.
