Representatives of the Polish authorities visited, among others, the Baykar company.

‘We could not, on the occasion of our stay in Turkey, not take advantage of the invitation of a company we know well, i.e. BaykarTech, whose already legendary unmanned platforms (Bayraktar – PAP) are on the equipment of the Polish army,’ – Kulasek informed X service.

‘Turkish industry has expressed great interest in systems manufactured in Poland. An important part of the talks concerned technology transfer and the establishment of new production capacities in our country,’ – he stressed.

The purpose of the visit, he added, was ‘to convince Turkish partners to join forces with defence industries to develop innovative solutions’.
