Baykar, a Turkish aviation company specializing in unmanned aircraft, has received approval from the Italian Ministry of Enterprises to acquire Piaggio Aerospace, manufacturer of the P.180 Avanti turboprop pusher twin. Piaggio’s corporate lineage dates back to 1884 as an early motor vehicle manufacturer. The company produced its first aircraft in 1915.

Hmmm…

Turkey supplies good relatively small UAVS to Ukraine, which has a light airplane size UAV of its own.
But Turkey supports Iran’s genocide of Jews.

Turkey has substantial manufacturing ability, ‘Baykar’ sounds like its established UAV maker that supplies Ukraine.
