Canada Agrees To Sell Military Drone Equipment To Turkey Despite Arms Embargo
June 19, 2020
The Canadian government has approved the sale of sophisticated military drone optics to Turkey despite an ongoing arms embargo against Ankara arising from its military incursions into northern Syria last October.
Turkey’s principal drone suppliers, Bayraktar Tactical UAS and TAI Anka, use electro-optical and infrared cameras manufactured by L3Harris Wescam of Canada in their armed and unarmed drones.
