Türkiye signs agreement with Indonesia to locally produce Bayraktar TB3 and Akıncı aerial drones.
This joint venture is part of a broader effort to enhance Indonesia’s defense industry and technological capabilities. The agreement includes the co-production of two of Baykar’s most advanced drones: the Bayraktar TB3 and the Akıncı. These UAVs will be manufactured locally, ensuring technology transfer and strengthening Indonesia’s defense manufacturing sector. In addition, Baykar will export these drones to Indonesia, further solidifying the country’s position as a key player in Southeast Asia’s drone industry.
The deal is one of several agreements signed between Türkiye and Indonesia during Erdoğan’s visit, highlighting their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations, particularly in the defense sector. In recent years, Indonesia has shown a growing interest in Turkish defense products. In 2023, the Indonesian government purchased 12 Turkish drones worth approximately $300 million as part of its military modernization program.
