"%0.3 bile değil" means not even %0.3 so it should be something between %0.2-0.3 (closer to %0.3 and probably just slightly under %0.3) and it is the export price of TB2. The price for Turkish armed forces is different.Baykar CEO "The value of the Bayraktar TB2's engine in the aircraft is not even 3 per thousand."
The Engine is clearly Rotax 912is

Thus the Cost for a Single TB2 could be 7.918.000 USD

That must be the AI-450 engines with 2 x 450HP power, he is talking about, regarding sufficient being supplied.IsmailDemir: "Sufficient number of engines were supplied for Akıncı. Our domestic engine to be used in Akıncı is about to finish."
It is because it takes time to build an eco-system to produce a “turbofan - turbojet - turboprop - turbo shaft“ family of engines.It still pisses me off how we don’t use a domestic developed engine for these projects.
I know many will hate me for this but I am so happy that Turkey was kicked out of the F35İsmail Demir: At least 50 UAVs will be deployed to TCG ANADOLU. This number can go up to 110 depending on the configuration
Ismail Demir: “We will soon see our jet-powered UAVs and SİHAs. Wait for next year.”
Of course. Main drones: MİUS, TB3, Kamikaze drones and ULAQ. TCG Anadolu and her sister ship TCG Trakya also will carry many mini drones. It is necessary to create an all-round sensor network. TCG Anadolu and TCG Trakya will become fully mobile military bases on their own. They will be able to protect themselves unaided. Even if we do not count the navy to accompany them, they will have a considerable firepower, namely attack power.so there will be multiple, not just mius?

TUSAŞ is making it's own MİUSso there will be multiple, not just mius?
I agree with that yet the infrastucture we have gained through F35 programme is invaluable. lots of foreign critics of MMU that we see in defence forums is either not aware or neglecting the fact that Turkey is a country which is/was manufacturing critical parts including engine parts for a 5 gen fighter aircraft.I know many will hate me for this but I am so happy that Turkey was kicked out of the F35
Thx to Turkey getting kicked out, the TSK & Govt & SSB & Turkish defence companies had to be creative to find a solution
Now the TCG anadolu will not only carry flying drones but rumors indicate that it can also carry ULAQ drones for safe long distance sea-warfare
Above all of that, TCG Anadolu can also carry tanks, landing troops, helicopters along with few air defense systems like Phalanx-like air defence systems and rockets. That is ofcourse if it is alone and isnt along with 3 or more frigates at least
Therefore, the TCG Anadolu transformed from a semi aircraft carrier with the F35, to a fqing MOBILE MILITARY BASE using air & naval drones and landing troops including tanks
Fqing insane tbh
I don't think there will be jet drones except MIUS. In addition, MIUS will have A and B models, so there is no need for another jet combat drone.I mean jet powered uavs, will there be more releases next year besides mius (+göksungur)?
