However, Baykar is not happy with TAI and is trying to pull some strings to slow them down. This is not fair. I had admired Baykar's effectiveness, but what has happened in recent years is an inorganic growth that has made them less effective than TAI, which is almost as big as Congoloromate.TAI's focus is not on export,there's the difference.
Baykar has to make money to survive,TAI as a state institution doesnt.
Same as Aselsan, export has never been a problem but you find some wannabe start ups talking shit about them, man if you need anything out of the blue it is Aselsan that gets it done even a nut and bolt or a radar or sensors or they had to make actuators, controllers, stepper motors until the 2010s because those private companies and start ups found it hard. As soon as Aselsan had done it and built up the labour force that could do it, they hired these people to do it.
Aselsan and TAI (with TEI) are the last two companies that we can criticise, these are the places that do the things that nobody dares to do.
I don't want to be critical, but Baykar didn't even dare to localise the Rotax engine, which we bought in large quantities (hundreds or almost half a thousand), or offer it to a local company. Why not? To protect their relationship with the supplier, as they did with Wescam.
Politics is politics, business is business, and Baykar is the company that is breaking through this barrier and playing dirty.
