The concept of the Baykar factory in Ukraine
In September of this year, the Baykar unveiled the concept of a drone production plant, which is planned to be built in the Kyiv region.
The factory will take up a space of over 30,000 square meters, and more than 300 Ukrainian engineers and technicians will be employed there.

It will produce not only the Bayraktar TB2 but also the Akinci and even, probably, the state-of-the-art Kizilelma jet-powered supersonic stealth sarrier-capable USAV, along with the other Baykar products. Ukrainian engineers will be involved in the development of new Bayraktar products.

In August, it became known that the Turkish Baykar plans to build in Ukraine not just a factory for the production of Bayraktar TB2 attack drones, but also a research center and a center of advanced production. As previously reported, on September 9, Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a meeting with Haluk Bayraktar. The meeting participants focused on further cooperation of Ukraine with the company in strengthening the defense capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The parties also discussed the details of constructing the Baykar factory in Ukraine and manufacturing new products using Ukrainian parts.
In July, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine sent the draft law to the Verkhovna Rada, which allows the construction of a factory for the production and maintenance of drones by the Baykar in Ukraine.
