On the topic of semiconductors and security, worth a watch for those interested: Even the US struggles to this day to keep semiconductors American and I mean 100% American without any foreign involvement.

Good news, just another proof that our equipment is not only cheaper but quality product too. There are many countries in the EU and NATO that are not hostile but still friendly to Turkey. Dont let social media and simplistic views blind you. Also everyone will be your friend if they want...

https://yle.fi/a/3-11025131 As another user already said, OYAK bought 70% of the company, but its not fully owned and of course still had to obey Finnish law. Over time the technology should be transferred, ideally with 100% ownership, thus no longer needing to import from Finland.

A private company is by definition capitalistic. Nothing wrong with that either, it's just a fact. We have a free market economy in Turkey. We're not a communist country, after all.

NATO membership aside, the action of an individual obviously interested in causing a reaction should not be influencing our foreign policy. This is just populism and amateurish.

I will not stand idle while pro-government media start to trash talk our own state funded companies with BS comparison. Don't care about politics, but that graphic is ill intended and straight propaganda. Defence industry can only be strong with cooperation and a deep level of integration...

There is nothing on BBC, the source is a shady twitter user = fake news.

I passed the protests at the Swedish embassy at Istiklal Caddesi today. Not the kind of people I'd want to be associated with. Bunch of Orange stabbers and clearly not our brightest citizens. Also while most protests are banned nowadays they were of course free and government sanctioned to...

Damn thats great bang for buck. But I wonder if that's below its real value.

No offense to Baykar, but they remain a single product company more or less for the time being. Akinci sales are nowhere near the numbers or TB2, Kizilelma is not on sale yet. TB2 will be the cash cow for now but eventually a market is saturated, so they need to diversify and deliver some good...

Aselsan is pretty ahead and made 1bln € in the 3rd quarter alone last year (vs. Baykar 1bln € total in 2022 afaik). No complete numbers yet for 2022. TAI too is still ahead. But you know thats the kind of competition that we want to see.

You're right, a token force is probably sufficient to keep on the island. The Greek side wouldnt dare to do anything, but politically it would be seen as a retreat, so not going to happen.

One of my favourite videos, he really does sound like an engine trying to start.

The purpose of this thread is to post general news about Turkeys biggest drone company. Please use the existing threads about Baykars products, avoid double posting.

Let's get back on topic and keep the drama out of this thread. Feel free to open up a thread about Baykar the company and keep this thread clean for news and developments. Further posts will be deleted.

The first language of this forum is English. Cay Bahcesi is an exception.

Why is he shooting at TAI for being a government funded company? After all all / most sub systems he's using are the products and results of public R&D spending at Aselsan, TEI, Havelsan, Roketsan & Co.
