Since #Poland is about to buy Turkish #TB2 drones, it’s a good occasion to talk about 🇵🇱 – 🇹🇷 historical ties in aviation industry. Hence, a thread.
The story starts in 1936, when Turkish MOD ordered 40 P.24 fighter aircraft produced by Polish state owned PZL aircraft factory. Besides those 40 fighters, Turkey produced 20 more planes under license. They were built in TOMTAS factory in Kayseri. This were the first fighters produced/assembled in 🇹🇷. P.24 was a quite a successful design, with a top speed of 410 km/h, two 20mm cannons and two 7,9mm guns.
