Presence of Chinese labels/text is quite thought-provoking. Turkey was receiving help from China to establish solar plants but it doesnt say anywhere on KalyonPV's site about Chinese cooperation.

Also amusing how a multimillion dollar company hasn't 'activated windows'
@kimov @the i do not recommend sharing this person's videos as a source.

This is really important because we can produce chip-level wafers from that factory in the future when we want to set up a microchip FAB.
Although similar, you can't really use the same equipment to produce electronics and PV. But more importantly and similar to my own case, the scientists and engineers can work on both.

Also, Turkey already have IC manufacturing at 90/65nm node if i'm not mistaken. Work on that started in 2011.

We won't produce electronics there we will produce silicon ingots and wafers.

Baykar has updated their Employee count.
It seems astonishing how quick they are growing but also likely expected with the amount of workload.

09/2021
Baykar CEO: " 1500 Employees"


04/2022
Employee Count "2300 Employees"

1651018143637.png


Which implies an increase of 800 Employees in ca. 8 Months.
That would be approximately a calculated yearly increase of 1200 Employees.


Compare that to Giants like

TAI: 1000 people in 2020, 2000 people in 2021, 2 thousand in 2022.
ASELSAN: 1500 people in 2021, 1500 people in 2022

These are huge Corporations with several Facilities.
The growth implies much bigger things since the Company wasn't too big to begin with.



Additional Info.

Baykar Technologies Factory in Istanbul

> Current Status of the Factory in Arnavutköy


View attachment 19583 View attachment 19584

> Expansion Started with the "1st Stage"

> A Research and Development Center was Established in 2016 - 2017, which is referred to as "1st Stage".

View attachment 19585

> Followed by the 2nd Stage

View attachment 19588

- Remember the Presidential Decree.

View attachment 19586

View attachment 19587









> 600 Million TL Investment. 1122 Additional Jobs. Overall Capacity Increase.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presidential Decree from 29.04.2021

> Additional Land has been given to Baykar Technologies but there isn't any information what purpose it is going to serve because the 2nd Stage isn't finished yet.

View attachment 19589 View attachment 19590

- That's a big chunk of Land. The Additional area is bigger than the main Factory itself !

> The Question remains for what exactly is planned there ?

2nd Stage with additional Capacities should more than enough even when MIUS goes into serial Production around mid 2020s

------------------------------------------------

My Guess:

BLACK SEA SHIELD ( 51% Baykar Tech. and 49% Ukroboronprom )

View attachment 19592 View attachment 19593



>They are going from 1400 to 2500 Personnel + Black Sea Shield.

- It is very apparent that Baykar is planning big and there Product range will diversify.

> About Ukroboronprom (80 000 EMPLOYEES)

Ukroboronprom was established in 2011 for improving coordination and performance of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine. Ukroboronprom is the largest state defence holding company in Ukraine, uniting 130+ enterprises, some of which have more than 70 years of experience in the field of defence and security.

ARMORED MILITARY VEHICLES
AVIATION INDUSTRY ROCKET
ARTILLERY WEAPONS AND MUNITIONS
SHIPBUILDING AND MARINE EQUIPMENT
INDUSTRY RADAR
RADIO COMMUNICATION AND AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS

This Year they Finished the Expansion of their 1. Facility with R&D Center to offload some workforce from the overcrowded Factory.
The Presidential Decree mentioned in the quoted Post indented for an increase of 1122 Employees.
That has likely happened with completion of the first expansion.

they should form a large complex area that includes production, research and development, testing and internship areas. If necessary, establishing a foundation university providing only aircraft, microelectronics and space technologies education on the same campus will pave the way for them to become a major global actor in the future. after this time, it is necessary to think much bigger.

Kalyon Mr. Cemal Kalyoncu:
"Currently, we are producing SPP panels in Turkey with 85% domesticity. We will do something new. This will be a surprise. Right now, our goal is to produce wind turbines in Turkey. There is currently no production. We will be a company that exports high technology, not imports."

The products to be prioritized were determined in order to reduce the current account deficit of 51 billion dollars in the middle-high and high technology focus sectors determined in the 11th Development Plan and to ensure domestic production or increase production capacity in these areas.

Within the scope of the Technology-Oriented Industry Move, the medium-high and high-tech sectors such as "chemistry", "pharmacy", "manufacturing of medical and dental equipment", "computer, electronics and optics", "electrical equipment", "machinery" "transportation vehicles" or other sectors that are critical to the development of the sector in these 7 fields, A list of 919 products and innovative areas selected from was announced in the Official Gazette.

On September 22, 2021, Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. and "Renewal of Alaçatı Wind Power Plant by Producing Local Wind Turbines" Project contract was signed. In this context, two 4 MW ASELSAN branded wind turbines will be produced locally and installed and commissioned at the Alaçatı WPP site. “Turbine Control System, Generator and Full Scale Power Converters” designed and nationalized by ASELSAN engineering teams will be used in the project.

As of the end of 2021, within the scope of the Renewable Energy Source Areas Solar Power Plants tenders of the Ministry of Energy, designed entirely with national resources. ASELSAN PULSAR branded 250 kVA Array Type Inverter Development Project has reached the final stage.

HABAŞ, which bought Honda's factory in Gebze, which stopped production in Turkey last year and closed it, has completed its preparations to produce domestic hybrid vehicles.
Great. Hybrids right now are better than fully electric. They have some issues such as higher maintenance cost etc but they wont leave you in the middle of a road. Togg should have started with hybrids too, turkey does not have the right infrastructure for fully electric right now. You will end up with dozens of cars stranded on the middle of roads because their battery ran out like in some places in the US which do not have the right infrastructure but locals buy tesla.

Tulomsas, Tudemsas, Tuvasas
All three giant companies gathered under one umbrella of Turasas.
The last two, a wagon builder and a rail car builder merged with Tulomsas who is a locomotive builder that can build marine Diesel engines as well. Tulomsas and GE transportation had combined their expertise to form a JV to produce locomotives in Turkey.
