"Seeing this country as an unscrupulous weapons salesman clashes with the government's carefully crafted narrative. But the data show we're supplying disreputable regimes that are engaged in some of the world’s most devastating conflicts." A powerful editorial from Cesar Jaramillo in today's Ottawa Citizen. #factsmatter https://ottawacitizen.com//jaramillo-nagorno-karabakh-a-re

It isn't often that we at Project Ploughshares are able to see the impact of our research in a matter of *days*. The nature of our work is such that the gains are incremental and the fruits of labour years in the making. But sometimes the results are rapid. Days after the release of Kelsey Gallagher's special report "Killer Optics" -- a comprehensive look into how Canadian-made WESCAM sensors have become integral to Turkish drone operations -- the government of Canada annou...nced the suspension of military export permits for WESCAM sensors to Turkey. For an overview of the report and its impact (so far), check out our special newsletter. https://conta.cc/3j05pn3

"Kelsey Gallagher, an expert with Project Ploughshares who has studied exports of Canadian drone technology to Turkey, said these sensors are used by Turkish TB2 Bayraktar combat drones, allowing them to see what's happening on the ground day and night, in all weather conditions." https://www.cbc.ca//canada-turkey-drone-azerbaijan-armenia
