US price of the Rotax engine comparable to the Baykar BM100 engine, before sales tax. BM100 should cost more in a military application and about the same for a civilian application. This engine has a certified version with the name ending with an addition of "C" for certified, which is...

Rotax does not have a distributor in Türkiye, an Italian company is assigned as the distributor. At some point Baykar was either the distributor or the service center for Türkiye.

Bayraktar TB2 exports hit 600 units mark

You know very well that thousands died because some other terror group FETÖ prevented Türkiye from taking the required actions against that certain terror group. Türkiye is on top of its game in defence matters these years yet terrorists refuse to die off completely because they are forced by...

They are making plastic injection parts where they are also making cloth hangers. A drone comes with electrical parts and avionics. Without making them locally there will be no drones to speak of.

You can only deceive fools with such arguments. Dollar being where it is is not a sign of bad performance. Economists were saying the dollar would hit 40 lira this past summer yet it is at 34 and is not going anywhere. How many countries can you count who will be making a 5th gen fighter in the...
