İHA’dan jetlere: Baykar, İtalyan Piaggio’yu neden satın aldı?

BAYKAR has become one of the most talked-about defense companies not only in Türkiye but also worldwide thanks to its groundbreaking steps in the Turkish defense industry. Yet this time, the subject is neither drones nor smart munitions… In this video, we will talk about BAYKAR’s major move in Italy. In the first half of 2025, the deal was signed and Italy’s legendary aerospace brand Piaggio officially became part of BAYKAR. Known for the “Ferrari of the skies,” the Avanti aircraft, Piaggio is also a manufacturer of F-35 engine components and has previously developed UAV projects. With this acquisition, BAYKAR is expected to revive Piaggio’s unfinished programs. On the other side of the coin stands Leonardo. As one of Europe’s largest defense giants, Leonardo has joined forces with BAYKAR to establish a new company called LBA Systems. UAVs, AI-powered defense systems, and next-generation technologies are now at the center of their shared agenda. This partnership not only opens the door for BAYKAR to production and certification within the European market but also provides access to the EU’s multi-billion-euro defense funds. Turkish projects—especially Kızılelma—are expected to advance significantly by merging with Leonardo’s technologies. So how will BAYKAR’s strategic moves shape the future of the Turkish defense industry? Is this collaboration with Europe a major opportunity or a long-term risk? And can Türkiye now become a global player not only in unmanned systems but also in manned platforms? You’ll find the answers to these questions—and much more—in our video. Enjoy watching!
