Uzbekistan plans to acquire Turkish military drones ANKA SIHA, which can remain airborne for up to 30 hours and carry payloads of up to 350 kg. Deliveries of the drones are expected to begin shortly.
As noted, these drones are already in use in six countries, including Algeria, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Chad. The export price for one drone is approximately $25 million, which includes munitions, control stations, and training for military operators.
