Prishtina, 8 October 2025
The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, together with the Acting Minister of Defense, Ejup Maqedonci, and officers of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), took delivery of containers containing thousands of Skydagger kamikaze combat drones, which arrived today at Prishtina International Airport “Adem Jashari.”
These kamikaze drones, also known as FPV (First-Person View) RTF (Ready to Fly) Skydagger models, are drones equipped with explosive devices designed to strike both moving and stationary enemy targets. The contract was signed in December of last year with the renowned Turkish company Baykar, the parent company of the Skydagger manufacturer. The delivery of the Skydagger drones had originally been planned for January 2026, but they have arrived three months earlier.
“We are investing so that our army, the Kosovo Security Force, becomes a capable and coherent force, aligned both with the latest technological developments and with contemporary warfare tactics. Today is a joyful day for the Kosovo Security Force and an extraordinary one for the defense of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kosovo,” stated Prime Minister Kurti.
The Skydagger drones add to the Kosovo Security Force’s fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles, alongside the TB2 Bayraktar (Turkish-made) and Puma (American-made) aircraft.
