Baku/04.03.21/Turan: As a result of a plane crash with a military helicopter, which occurred on Thursday, March 4, in eastern Turkey, Turkish General Osman Erbash, who was at the origin of the creation of the Bayraktar combat drones, was killed.
The son-in-law of Turkish President Erdogan, the owner of a company that produces Turkish drones, Selcuk Bayraktar, wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
He stressed that his friendship with the general, who was the commander of the 8th corps of the ground forces, lasted more than ten years. Their cooperation consisted in testing developments for the combat use of drones.
In addition, General Erbash in Turkey is called one of the authors of the strategy used by Azerbaijan to succeed in the Second Karabakh War.
