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.
Price
No reviewed price is on record. We do not treat unverified analyst estimates as pricing data. 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.
Availability
Internal use only
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.
