Well I think they are French owned if that means anything. 😂😂😂😂
France is one of the Prime countries that doesnt like the quick rise in the Turkish Defense Industry. Not only do they snatch France's customers away from their grasp (using effective yet cheap solutions) but also aids Erdo in his global endeavour which is literally against France plans.
You think after all of that, France will promote their IDEF fair?......loool

I wouldn't get too cocky yet. Turkish weapons' industry IS growing but it's still a fair bit away from being on the same level of quality. I mean, here in the US, Turkish weapons are currently at best usually synonymous with "affordable but it works" and at worst "cheap c**p that blows up in your face" among the average Joe. Not that Turkey won't reach that level if it keeps trying and pushing but don't count your chickens before they hatch.

It is not that Turkey can not make any better but it is that the market has a vacuum at that price level.
Canik has gained a big market share in the US by their current positioning of its products and has entered in the top three handgun makers.

There are US gun owners who say Canik is best at any price level but who cares, huh.

Turkey should also try to sell defense systems for GERD
No
We shouldnt antagonise Egypt too much
Turkey made peace with the UAE and is selling baykar tb2 to ethiopia to end the war
This should be a sign to Egypt that the tides are changing to Turkey's favour
Forcing Egypt to a wall will lead to negative results not positive
I believe Erdo is showing that Egypt's options are getting less while still keeping the door open for friendship
That is the optimal solution IMO

Fake news.. Ethiopia took delivery of Mohajer 6 UCAVs from Iran.
Days after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's visit to Turkey, there is a shipment by cargo plane from Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport to Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.

Tekirdag is one of Baykar Makine's test centers. So the source of the claim is pretty solid. I recommend reading the series carefully.

I guess we wouldn't risk a functional TB-2 to get into Iranian hands.. Since Ethiopians already have ties with Iran.

The water of Bayraktar TB-2 is now out. I don't think there are huge capabilities that can be added to it. The useful life of the design continues for a maximum of 5 years. It has no strategic weight. What you said can only be valid for Akıncı.

They can only learn a few things that is out in the open as a useful lesson. Much of TB2's power come from elements that don't meet the eye. It can only benefit makers that can already make a similar quality plane. Nothing to worry about.
