    “Being an island nation, the military is only interested in defending the mainland, so maybe that's why they felt something like the MQ-9B was too expensive and unnecessary?” This is the most plausible explanation I could come up with, too. One should consider the fact that their constitution...

    When that rich country happens to be Japan, the top technology inventor on many industrial fields you just wonder why, regardless any urgency. I was not being cynical here btw, just wondering. That’s all ;)

    I can understand your “bias” against them but what I really wonder is how come Japan, the top industrial country with the technological innovation list stretching miles long would wanna do shopping around for any UAV platform instead of developing locally. Budgetary concerns? The high price per...

    It is the usual three tones camo. The Pattern is a little bit unusual though. You got a point there. Maybe to distinct between two phases?

    This is where I fail to understand (or appreciate?) the loyal wingman concept other than a grasp of general idea behind it. Will the MUM-T (Man Unmanned Teaming) dictate a classic close flight formation where the the loyal wingman act as protection of the MMU or will it be diverted off ahead to...

    It was left undetermined iirc. I did some search and couldn’t find anything to support the two seater variant in a foreseeable future. I found, however, that TUSAS had revealed at a press meeting they were ready to design a two seater to maximize the MUM-T (Manned Unmmaned Teaming) mission...

    Again, the excitement was exceedingly high which turned the atmosphere of the forum into a hectic state and honestly bordering on chaos at times. Realizing this, I decided to sit back and wait it simmer down just like @Saithan :)

    A valid and good point. I really doubt anybody will be allowed on board as the ship has already sailed. From this moment on it will be supplier and the customers. Naturally, depending on political necessities and nature of the buyers‘ relation with Turkey, there might be some perks and some...

    That was supposed to be the point of my post. Less dependent because of our efforts. It lost its point though in a joyous moment of mine and took a euphoric turn, I must admit :giggle:
