Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Turkey is suspending a $180 million UAV contract with Zionist regime’s Elbit company and instead is using its own vehicles to gather intelligence, according to the Turkish daily Today’s Zaman,

Zionist regime has withdrawn officers who were training Turkish counterparts on Elbit’s Heron unmanned aircraft after Turkey’s IHH terror activists brutally assaulted Israeli Navy commandos who were trying to stop their ship from reaching Hamas-controlled Gaza on May 31.

Zaman reported that the Turkish Baykar company already is using its UAVs to gather intelligence on Kurds opposed to the government in Ankara.
