The system in detail
The manufacturer lists several TB2 versions on the same page. The basic TB2 entry is therefore a published baseline, with configuration differences left explicit rather than assumed away.
A flight record is not a routine endurance guarantee. Payload and maximum take-off mass are different quantities; communication arrangements and mission equipment also need to be stated when comparing UAVs.
Bayraktar TB2 equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
AlbaniaAir Force exact named equipment holdings: Bayraktar TB2. Active, operational-reserve and training units excluding equipment in store; November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only; no parent-force or national total inferred. Source role: UNINHABITED AERIAL VEHICLES / CISR. Original estimates, ranges, reporting names, reserve, lease and employment scopes retained; nested included counts are not added. Missile-system quantities mean launchers, not rounds. No readiness, crew, carried weapon, payload, factory-production or future order count inherited.
