According to the Russian "Izvestia" website, Sergei Tsekov, a member of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council (Upper House of Parliament), said on the 12th local time that in view of Russia's implementation of special military protection of civilians in Donbas Action, It is impossible to build a "Flagbearer" drone factory in Ukraine, and Russia will not allow this Russian-targeted enterprise to be completed and put into production.
The congressman said that even if the factory is finally built in Turkey and Ukraine, the factory will not be able to produce drones because Russia is committed to demilitarizing Ukraine, that is, the Russian army will destroy military facilities.
Tsekov told Lianta.com: "This will be a Ukrainian factory, not a Turkish factory. Since it is a Ukrainian factory, it is a Russian target."
According to reports, the "Flagbearer" drone Halyuk Bayaktar, CEO of manufacturer Baykal Technologies, revealed earlier on the 12th that construction of a drone factory in Ukraine has begun. He said that in addition to the production workshop, a drone research and development center will be built locally.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasily Bodnar said on August 9 that the new factory will be completed and put into production by the end of 2023.
