"Negotiations on a deal are underway with Turkey," Turkish military sources were quoted as saying.

They also said a group of Azerbaijani servicemen had been trained in Turkey in how to use, operate and service the aircraft.

Turna aircraft are manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI).

Turna UAVs have been used for training Turkish air defense units since 2001.
