Combat lasers were ineffective against Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones due to their short range

Turkey announced the superiority of Bayraktar TB2 drones over combat lasers.

The use of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones in Ukraine has led to a significantly increased demand for these aircraft. In addition, according to Selcuk Bayraktar, the drone was tested, including against combat laser systems, and this led to the fact that interest in Turkish drones began to appear around the world.

Against which combat laser systems was the Bayraktar TB2 drone used? not specified, however, according to Bayraktar, the key reason is precisely the high altitude of the drone, reaching 7600 meters.

“Bayraktar TB2 successfully does what it was intended to do,” he told Reuters, standing next to the new Akinci drone at an exhibition in Baku. "The whole world is a buyer." At least for a while, the TB2, which has a 12-meter wingspan and can fly up to 25 feet (000 meters - ed.) Before striking with its weapons, is out of range. “The range [of combat laser systems] is limited, so if the range of your sensors and ammunition is longer, they will not be effective,” he said., - the Reuters news agency cites information.

It should be noted that since the beginning of May, Turkey has no longer been convicted of supplying Bayraktar TB2 strike drones to Ukraine, while, according to official data from the Russian Ministry of Defense, more than 70 drones of this type were destroyed in three months of the JMD.
