Beringer AERO suspends all deliveries to Turkish UAV manufacturers after having found out about its products mounted on drones equipped with weapons and deployed over the Nagorno- Karabakh region to fight against the Armenian forces, the company said in a public statement posted to its Facebook page.

As the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports, the decision came after ANCA documented the discovery of Beringer "Sealed Fuel Reservoirs" in Turkish Bayraktar drones.  

"The company wants to stay in line with its ethical policy and has never allowed the use of its products on vehicles that could threaten human life (see ethical charter in attachment," the statement said, adding its products are designed and manufactured in France for general aviation and civilian purposes. The company next explained that the products are sold worldwide through different channels and are standard off the shelves for all vehicles, including UAVs. Therefore the European Union Control List of Dual Use Items does not list these products as dual use items.

To note, Beringer AERO is specialized in manufacturing of high performance wheels and brakes for gliders, ultra-light, light-sport, unmanned and certified aircraft.
