Kenya Steps Up Security with New Turkish Drones.
Kenya has added six new drones to its security forces. These Bayraktar TB2 drones come from Turkey's Baykar company. The military will use them to fight terrorism and watch over the country.
Turkish news reports say both countries are working closer on defense matters. The drones have proven their worth in several wars, including battles in Ukraine. Many countries want these drones because they work well.
African nations have shown great interest in these flying machines. The drones help them guard their lands and fight against armed groups. These machines cost less than other military equipment but still do the job well.
Each drone carries special cameras made by Aselsan. These cameras help the operators see better and find targets more easily. Kenyan soldiers learned how to fly these drones last August at a training center in Turkey.
Many other African countries already use these drones. Burkina Faso, Togo, Niger, Nigeria, and Morocco either have them or want to buy them. Kenya plans to use its new drones against al-Shabaab fighters.
Military leaders say these drones make sense for countries that need to save money. They can do many jobs and don't break the bank. The drones help keep borders safe and stop crime without spending huge amounts of cash.
