Over the past two years, Mali's transitional government has actively pursued military collaboration with Ankara. This recent acquisition builds on previous deliveries of the latest-generation UAVs, showcasing the deepening partnership between the two nations.
In a significant development, the Malian Armed Forces have recently received a new fleet of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 surveillance and attack drones. The official handover ceremony for this delivery took place on Thursday in the presence of Mali's interim president, Assimi Goita.
These cutting-edge UAVs represent a crucial addition to Mali's armed forces, bolstering their capabilities in the ongoing battle against terrorism.
Furthermore, the drones are expected to play an important role in improving the country's aerial surveillance of its borders and ensuring comprehensive territorial coverage.
