A number of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones were delivered to Ukraine on Tuesday, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.

"The new Bayraktar TB2s have already arrived in Ukraine and have been moved to combat positions," the statement said.

It was also noted that additional Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles were deployed on the front line while the Russian occupation of Ukraine continues.

The additional Bayraktar drones will complement the 12 that Ukraine already possesses.

In total, Kiev ordered 48 drones from Turkey;

it is unclear how many were delivered to the most recent group.

Bayraktar is a light unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with air-to-ground missiles.

The drone has previously been used in the Middle East and Nagorno-Karabakh, the disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan over which the two countries waged a brief war in late 2020. Azerbaijan used them against the Armenian army.
