Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia’s National Army has received reconnaissance drones from Turkey this week, according to a well-placed military source.
The shipment marked the first time Somalia received a batch of Turkey’s coveted drones.
The source added that the drones will not be armed with anti-tank missiles but will be used for reconnaissance and other intelligence-gathering operations.
Turkey has been arming and training Somalia’s army at Camp TurkSom - its extensive military base and defence university - in recent years, providing G3 assault rifles and armoured vehicles.
