CANAKKALE, Turkey -- Baykar Defense, the Turkish defense contractor where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's son-in-law is a top director, showed some public relations savvy this week when it announced that it is donating three armed drones to Ukraine free of charge.
The company was responding to a crowdfunding effort that raised $20 million in less than three days to buy Baykar's mainstay Bayraktar TB2 drones for Ukraine.
