I believe that figure was including R&D cost and startup cost (production line etc.). Turkiye plans to introduce 750 more tanks after the initial order for 250. The per unit price for the next 750 will be much lower.
Very direct message from Azerbaijan.
We could be witnessing the ourbreak of a major conflict in the middle east in the coming days/weeks. Iran has vowed to defend armenia. If Iran attacks Azerbaijan, Turkiye and Israel will start hammering iran.
Weird incident. Russian jet tried to bring down Ukrainian TB2. The TB2 survived.
Unknown why the russian jet did not used munitions to bring down TB2. (I speculate it could have been a Ukrainian jet)
A two-seater 5th generation aircraft is a waste of money. The argument of drone-controller is bs. In the coming decades drones will either act fully autonomously or receive orders from AWACS or ground stations.
People said the same about TB2. Look how a tactical UAV decided several wars and took out some of the most advanced military equipment. Nobody had ever imagined TB2 could overcome Russia's most advanced EW - It took Baykar less than a week to do that! Never underestimate a fast-moving and...
Not a fair comparison. As I mentioned yesterday, Baykar and TAI have different philosophies. Baykar utilizing hardware rich fast iterations like SpaceX while TAI is a more established company with a lot more thoroughness and refinement before going to hardware.
Anyways - we should be routing...
