Why just one tho. Maybe they want to train their King Air pilots themselves. More interested in the "gifting" part.

Rest in Peace, but every tourist takes malaria medication with them when they travel to Malaria prone countries.
How come she had none with her or didnt receive proper treatment?

No cold, only the warmth of the flag,
No fatigue, only determination and perseverance,
No giving up, only the prayers of our nation,
No snow or winter, only the fight against terrorism!

I thought it was a foreign company until I saw this:

Anyone know or can estimate a guess on the take off cost for these compared to say, a helicopter traffic police may use ?

I think as technology becomes more easily available we'll see many of these mini choppers or the type that PKK used to fly over the border.

Thus I think it's important to have passive radar relays (where it's necessary) and create a spiderweb that detects and reports these border movements to control center/AI that can switch to cameras that can zoom in on the object.

Not cheap of course and not starting on creating that web isn't going to make it easier when it becomes necessary.

I thought it was a foreign company until I saw this:
Autogyro is a German company. Skyolympos is their Turkish partner and handle sale, training and maintenance of Autogyros and Sirius aircraft, as well as some ultralights in Turkey.

No info on unit costs but they use a simple 100hp Rotax engine like on TB2, so must be pretty cheap to run. Also see the soldiers operating it; only one officer and NCO as it has a single pilot, compared to usually 2 officer complement of helicopters.

I'm unsure if this is a better option than just getting more TB2s still.
