Educational visits, exchanging thoughts and ideas, giving foreign visitors a tour of your countries achievements.
Doesnt always have to be business.

In the case of a Baykar visit, their HQ campus being in Istanbul tho, it's a two stop visit. ROKAF chief visited Turkey to meet with TurAF chief in Ankara and then met with TSK chief. After that they probably took a plane ride to Istanbul to visit Baykar and left for their next destination or back to Korea. It's not weird per se, but just a simple visit and photo exchange for all those hours and cost is interesting. How does ROKAF explain the cost of the flight to Istanbul to the state comptroller? Bureaucracy in Korea is not non existent.

He‘s on an official 10 day-trip to India, Türkiye and UAE to promote defense cooperation.

Korean top military is interested in advanced Turkish drone technology, therefore a visit to Baykar is a must.

„He will also discuss ways to promote cooperation with each respective country in various fields, such as unmanned aircraft, the space industry and air defense, as well as exchanges of pilot personnel, it added.“

Oddly enough, Tusaş is the address to go to for UAVs. Baykar is new and inexperienced compared to Tusaş.

They were probably directed there or went there under the influence of popular culture.

Tusaş started the UAV business 20 years before them.

You don't need to quote me on that ridiculous detail. If you want to write about whether what I said is true or not, write something about it.
This is a really illogical way of looking at anything really, when Google started there were multiple websites doing what they were doing and yet they overtook all of them, same as SpaceX, for example, whose rockets are now indispensable for US.

How old a company is or when they started doing something is completely irrelevant to how experienced or good they are at what they do. Baykar may have started later but they became one of the leading drone manufacturers on the planet in that time. Your comment comes off as political more than anything mate.

None of these has a thing to do with the visit;
Conflict of interest, it is what it is.

First, I decide what I need to write and dont need your permission. Second, you make that unclear and relative claim. More precision is not hilarious. Its necessary.

Baykar started his UAV program in the 2000's. And you say TUSAS do this 20 years earlier. Is that correct?

Türkiye's new fighter ANKA III is getting stronger:
• ANKA III, which was improved with the data obtained from the first flight and subsequently made new test flights, met the sky for the third time.
• ANKA III, which stayed in the air for 2 hours on its last flight, reached a speed of 160 knots, ascended to an altitude of 10 thousand feet, and autopilot and flight mechanics tests were carried out.
• ANKA III will be able to play a leading role in many missions with its high carrying capacity, numerous internal and external ammunition stations and low visibility.

A month ago Temel Kotil has said "ANKA-3 durmadan uçuyor" (ANKA-3 is flying non-stop) and we now learn that it has just done its third flight.
