Milli SİHA (Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Bayraktar TB2 left another important milestone behind. Bayraktar TB2 SİHA System, which broke new ground in the history of Turkish aviation, has successfully completed 300 thousand flight hours. Thus, an aircraft of this class, designed and manufactured with domestic and national facilities, flew 300 thousand hours and became the first national aircraft to operate in the sky for the longest time.
160 SİHA on duty

Currently, Turkey, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Qatar in inventory 160 continues to serve Bayraktar SIH to TB2.
The domestic rate is at a record level
Baykar, which has developed the software and hardware systems, which are the biggest added value in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles with its team of Turkish engineers since the early 2000s, is shown as one of the leading technology companies in the world with its engineering power in 13 different disciplines. While components such as piston engine, check valve and water trap, which are used in Bayraktar TB2 SİHA production, that are supplied ready on the shelf do not exceed 1%, the more advanced of similar consumables compared to the alternatives in the world are supplied from domestic manufacturers. Bayraktar TB2 SİHAs, with all critical components, designs and software developed nationally and indigenously by Baykar, are produced in the world with a record-breaking 93% local industry participation.
2020 million dollars export in 360
The success of Bayraktar TB2 SİHA system, which is followed with interest by the world aviation and defense sector, also opened the door for an advanced aircraft export for the first time in the history of the Republic.

Turkey is one of six countries that produce its own ammunition and sihai
With its triple redundant avionics systems and sensor fusion architecture, Bayraktar TB2 SİHA system, which has the capability of fully autonomous taxi, take-off, normal navigation and landing, has been actively used since 2014 as the first national tactical unmanned aerial vehicle system included in the TSK inventory. Bayraktar TB4, which can carry 2 MAM-L and MAM-C missiles produced by Roketsan on its wings, has the ability to make precise targeting with its built-in laser target marker. With this feature, Turkey, and producing their own sihai munitions stand out as one of six countries in the world. National SİHA draws attention as a system that offers an all-in-one solution with a quick see-and-see feature in order to prevent damage to areas close to the target. Armed for the Turkish Armed Forces, the system provides reconnaissance, continuous aerial surveillance, target detection and destruction.
