Several congratulations films using the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drone have been circulating on Ukrainian and Turkish social media sites in recent days. The movies, which include English and Turkish subtitles, claim that the Ukrainian military has successfully employed the drone against the Russian military on multiple occasions. They often contain images of Russian vehicles and equipment exploding or being destroyed. However, it has yet to be independently confirmed how effective the Bayraktar drones, also known as TB2s, were during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine has been operating TB2 drones since 2019 and has acquired around 50 in the last three years. Last Wednesday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that it had bought an unidentified number of more TB2 drones, which were ready for war.
