The TB2 anchors the international legacy-prime corner of DEPLOY's drone coverage, the operator-supervision contrast to the new-defense AI-first triangle (Anduril Ghost-X, Helsing HX-2, Shield AI V-BAT). It is the export-market parallel to the US MQ-9 Reaper.

The TB2 is combat-proven and widely exported: documented use in Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Libyan civil war, with Roketsan MAM laser-guided munitions, from Turkey's Baykar.
There is no consumer price. The Bayraktar TB2 is defense procurement equipment sold to militaries on contract, so DEPLOY records zero price points rather than a consumer figure.
The TB2 is sold to defense customers, not consumers. From Turkey's Baykar, it is widely exported and combat-proven (Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh, the Libyan civil war, and others). Specific export-country counts vary by source and defer to primary disclosures.
Real-world status
The Bayraktar TB2, from Turkey's Baykar, is the internationally fielded legacy-prime armed UAV and a remotely-piloted, AI-augmented-not-autonomous platform. It is a medium-altitude armed drone (20-plus hours endurance, 25,000-foot ceiling, 150-kilogram payload, Roketsan MAM laser-guided munitions) whose triple-redundant flight control automates taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing while the mission itself remains operator-supervised. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: Baykar's newer products (the Akinci HALE UCAV and the jet-powered Kizilelma) move toward greater autonomy, but the TB2 specifically is remotely-piloted, with a human operator supervising targeting and strike decisions. That operator-supervision is the editorial spine separating it from the onboard-autonomy new-defense cohort.

The TB2 is remotely-piloted, not autonomous: its flight control automates taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing, but a human operator supervises targeting and strike. Baykar's newer Akinci and Kizilelma move toward autonomy; the TB2 does not. Specific export-country counts and engagement claims are cap-flagged to primary disclosures.

No, it is remotely-piloted🟢verified. Flight control automates taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing, but a human operator supervises targeting and strike. Baykar's newer Akinci and Kizilelma are more autonomous; the TB2 is not.
Can I buy a Bayraktar TB2?
No⊘absence. It is defense procurement equipment sold to militaries on contract; there is no consumer price.
Where has the TB2 been used?
It is combat-proven in Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Libyan civil war, among others🟢verified. Specific engagement and kill claims vary by source and defer to primary disclosures.
Are Baykar's drones autonomous?
Baykar's newer Akinci (HALE UCAV) and Kizilelma (jet UCAV) move toward greater autonomy🟢verified, but the TB2 specifically is remotely-piloted with operator-supervised missions.
How does the TB2 compare to Anduril's Ghost?
Both are defense drones, but the TB2 is remotely-piloted (operator-supervised)🟢verified, while Anduril's Ghost-X runs verified onboard autonomy (Lattice). That is the operator-supervision-vs-autonomy axis.
