STM’s First African Export to Boyga UAV
According to the statement made by STM, the Turkish-origin tactical mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Boyga was exported to a country on the African continent. This export is Boyga’s first international user outside of Turkey. According to the export contract, Boyga’s deliveries will be completed this year.
Boyga joined the Turkish Armed Forces inventory in 2022 and played an active role in the fight against terrorism, cross-border operations and international exercises. Boyga, who especially demonstrated a successful performance in the EFES-2024 Exercise, successfully hit the set targets.
STM General Manager Özgür Güleryüz emphasized that the tactical mini UAV family developed by STM with advanced engineering capabilities is a pioneer in the international arena, and said, “The first export of Boyga, which we added to the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces, to Africa shows the success and demand of our products in the field.”
