Ukraine has been using Turkish drones to strike Russia's invading forces, Ukrainian government officials said on Saturday, as fighting continued for the third day.


Ukraine's embassy in Turkey said on Saturday that Ukrainian forces had struck a Russian military convoy in the southern city of Kherson using Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones.


Accompanying the post was a video purportedly showing the aftermath of the strike.

The Ukrainian defence ministry also said that TB2s had hit Russian forces near Hostomol airport, near Kyiv.


There have been no comments from Russia in response to Ukraine's statements.


Earlier this month, Ukraine and Turkey signed a series of agreements, including a deal that would expand the production capabilities of Turkish drone-maker Baykar in Ukraine.

Its drones were deployed last year in Kiev's war against Russian-backed separatists in its eastern Donbas region.


"[The] defence industry and aviation are the main driving force for our strategic partnership," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters at the time.


"Baykar will expand its production of unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine, and Ukraine will strengthen its defence capabilities with these new technologies and jobs."

Following the signing of the deal, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has a close but sometimes fraught relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reiterated Ankara's support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Again, it makes me worried about Akkuyu nuclear plant
Turkey will get engine tech even if they had to develop it alone; albeit, it will take longer periods! However, turkey does need Nuclear tech to reduce its gas dependency
Just look at the lira in the past few days! The moment the oil price surpassed 100$ per barrel, the lira overshoot from 13.6 to 14.7 in just 2 days

Why are you worried,what has this got to do with Akkuyu?
Syria got Russian weapons,the YPG/PKK has American weapons,Haftar had both,so what?
No need to worry,it doesnt work that way.

You think Putin isnt angry that Turkey sold TB2s to Ukraine?
Dont get me wrong though, Iam not against the sale; In fact, Iam actually with it! Putin armed Turkey's enemies such as the PKK and Haftar as you said. Thus, it is normal for Turkey to arm Russia's enemies..... Period!
It is just that I would think it to be a shame for the reactor which took all this wrokforce, time, land, and is gonna be operational in around a year to just suddenly halt

I really hope that you are right about the fact that it doesnt work that way
