Bayraktar TB2 UCAV was sold to Tajikistan

Kyrgyzstan has confirmed that its neighbor Tajikistan has purchased Bayraktar TB2 UCAV from Turkey. The statement came from the Kyrgyz authorities.

Kirghiz Parliament Deputy Mirlan Samyikozho demanded information about the accuracy of the news that Turkey sold Bayraktar to Tajikistan in his question to the new Foreign Minister of Kyrgyzstan, Jeenbek Kulubayev.

Kulubayev, on the other hand, confirmed the allegations by answering the question as follows:

"Yes that is right. We asked the embassy a question in this direction. We can confirm. We told the Turkish side that they should be careful about this issue because the problems between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have not been resolved. But Turkey says it is 'business'. They state that military-technical cooperation will continue.”

Minister Kulubayev also states that they will hold talks with the Turkish side after receiving all the information on the subject.

The Military Framework Agreement between Turkey and Tajikistan was signed just last week by Hulusi Akar, Minister of National Defense, and General Mirzo, Minister of Defense of Tajikistan.

During the meetings where bilateral and regional defense, security and cooperation in the defense industry were discussed, Minister Akar emphasized the common belief, historical and cultural ties between Turkey and Tajikistan, and it was stated that they were ready to share experiences on border security and the fight against terrorism.

Considering loss of two drones per two targets in that particular raid - sounds more like a really expensive cruise missile.
TB2s are cool, but other than moral value, that particular use case isn't exactly inspiring.
It already had one of the best if not the best track record, but sneaking into the most defended, highly alert airspace of a superpower to strike at its logistics while being a souped up fiberglass RC Cessna sized plane dropping glide bombs light enough for me to curl with one arm, seals the deal for me.

Yep, the aspect of being able to sneak up deep into IADSs is undoubtedly impressive and, frankly, eye-opening.
p.s. Cessna is actually generous, TB2 is just a ~700 kg aircraft.

You need dedicated radar system to track low flying drones. S-300 and Patriot radars have a tendency to filter them out as background noise.
