This may have been a new development which I wasn't aware of in regards to military weapons post invasion. I know that Ukraine had been using Turkish made weapons prior to this as per previous purchases but new deliveries was something I wasn't aware of.

It's a complicated issue in other ways as well, I know US forces and NATO were concerned with Russian made anti aircraft systems being purchased by Turkey to the point where Turkey was kicked out of the F35 program amongst other issues.

Either way if the Turkish made drones are of big support, I am glad that they are arriving and providing cover to Ukrainian forces. I don't like Turkey one bit but support this move.
