A few days before the May 28, the date of the second round of the presidential elections in Turkey, the country's current leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, confirms his leading position. The president was also supported by candidate Sinan Ogan, who dropped out of the race.

In the event of Erdogan's victory in the elections, the continuation of the Turkish strategy of pan-Turkism, focused on expanding Turkey's influence in various regions of the world, is predicted. One of the main instruments of this policy was the active promotion of Turkish products at the international level.

Contributing factors for this strategy were military conflicts in various parts of the world. The second Karabakh war in 2020, military operations in Libya and the first stages of the armed conflict in Ukraine drew attention to the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack unmanned aerial vehicles. The effective use of these drones in combat conditions has led to an increase in international demand and the conclusion of dozens of new contracts for their supply.

To date, Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles of various types are operated in more than 20 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Negotiations are already underway in 15 countries to purchase these military assets. With a high degree of probability, we can assume that the demand for Turkish unmanned vehicles will continue to grow.

Elections in Turkey are a critical event that could determine the direction of the country in the coming years. Erdogan's stability and progressive policy make him a serious contender for continuing to serve as president of the country.
