The Bayraktar TB2 is a Turkish medium altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations manufactured by Turkey's Bayraktar company primarily for the Turkish Air Force. The development of the Bayraktar TB2 had been spurred by a U.S. ban on exports of armed unmanned aircraft to Turkey due to concerns they would be used against Kurdish groups inside and outside Turkey. The Bayraktar TB2 first flew in August 2014. TB2 drones were intensively used by Turkey against Syrian government forces in Idlib province and against LNA forces in Lybia. External links
