# Bayraktar TB2: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

The Bayraktar TB2 is a remotely-piloted (not autonomous) armed UAV with AI-augmented flight; combat-proven and widely exported. Defense procurement, no consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

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

_Status: internal-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.

## 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.

## Common questions

### Is the Bayraktar TB2 autonomous?

No. Its flight control automates taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing, but the mission is operator-supervised: a human supervises targeting and strike decisions. Baykar's newer Akinci and Kizilelma are more autonomous; the TB2 is not.

### Can I buy a Bayraktar TB2?

No. It is defense procurement equipment sold to militaries on contract; there is no consumer price.
