On Monday, Turkish defense manufacturer Baykar agreed to donate three drones to Ukraine in response to a crowdfunding campaign.
"Baykar will not accept payment for the TB2s, and will send 3 UAVs free of charge to the Ukrainian war front."

The fundraiser led by Ukrainian TV personality Serhiy Prytula, raised $20 million in just three days, to buy Bayraktar TB2 drones.
The firm said it would donate the Bayraktar TB2 drones and return the funds to the people of Ukraine.
The ongoing war in Ukraine is the first major conflict in which the Bayraktar drones have been deployed.
The Bayraktar TB2s played a central role in the early days of the invasion, striking Russian military convoys and sinking Russian naval ships.
