With Ankara\u2019s support in training specialists at Uzbekistan\u2019s Lochin Research and Production Center, Tashkent is actively expanding its capabilities in innovation and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) manufacturing. The facility boasts a full range of specialized technological equipment, as well as a testing laboratory designed for drone production, assembly, repair, and maintenance.<\/p>\n
The drones and quadcopters produced at the center serve both civilian and military purposes, including reconnaissance missions, precision strikes, real-time monitoring, data collection, and artillery fire adjustment.<\/p>\n
Cooperation between Tashkent and Ankara in drone technology is mutually beneficial. Uzbekistan gains access to cutting-edge Turkish know-how, accelerating the growth of its domestic drone industry.<\/p>\n
In turn, Turkey reinforces its position as a regional leader in advanced technology while expanding its influence in Central Asia. Ankara\u2019s support for Uzbekistan\u2019s drone production is part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties with members of the Organization of Turkic States (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan) across multiple sectors, including defense, economy, and culture.<\/p>\n
However, this deepening collaboration may raise concerns among some regional and global actors. The enhancement of Uzbekistan\u2019s military capabilities could be perceived as a destabilizing factor, while the export of Uzbek-made drones risks proliferating such technologies to volatile regions of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
