Products used in combat drones

After learning that their products were utilised to create combat drones, Andair announced the discontinuation of all sales to Baykar Makina, a subsidiary of Turkish defence company Baykar. In the press release made on 11 January 2021, the company cited being approached by Armenian Embassy on 2 November 2020 and its own investigation as the reason for this decision.[6] The British manufacturer became the latest company to stop selling equipment to Turkey after its components were found in drones shot down during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[7]
