Saudi Arabia buys Bayraktar drone during Erdogan's visit

Saudi Arabia agreed on Tuesday to buy Turkish drones in the largest defense contract in Turkey's history.

Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attended the signing ceremony between Turkish defense firm Baykar and the Saudi defense ministry, Saudi state news agency SPA reported.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman stated that the acquisition of the drones aims to increase the readiness of the kingdom's armed forces and strengthen its defense and production capabilities.

In a tweet, he announced that they have signed a contract with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense for the export of the Bayraktar Akinci unmanned combat drone.

Since 2021, investments and financial support from the Persian Gulf region have played an important role in easing the pressure on Turkey's economy and foreign exchange reserves.

This positive development coincided with Ankara's diplomatic efforts to improve relations with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
