I personally expected they would -Canadians- at least wont be deceived by lobbying and would request some proofs for the claims in investigation. Everything apart, they could particularly limit use of their own Techs to the Azerbaijani armed forces if they suspected use of their tech was violating human rights.
If they did something as above,i would at least think they are not believing in non-sense Armenian claims -like TAF's UAVs are utilized in the war- and we could solely question their sensitivity about use of their equipment. However, sadly, looking at the result -which the officials have banned the export in light speed- it seems this was a work done by lobbying and not by a sane and objective investigation.

We also know how these sensitive government people again approve sale of the weapons to some other countries which actually conducts massacre scale violation of human rights. It is their own weapon, tech and i am aware we can not expect them to be objective on the matter, but at least they should have guts to tell " we are not selling you this, because it was used by your customers against some armed groups which is favored by strong people in our community ", instead of misguiding public opinion as if the ban is a result of TAF's involvement in Karabakh conflict.

It is basically a halt in export permit while the investigation is ongoing etc....enough pressure was applied to get that (ARM lobby + NDP)...but its not a conclusion of investigation itself (which continues)...who knows how long that goes, probably however long the conflict will end up being.

I am not surprised given current local political climate in Canada (more politically fragile than even the usual)...the govt will fold readily on relatively "easy" foreign policy issues...as it does not want to stir up too much extra drama inside (with its leftist political allies) and rather have narrative focused on corona recovery plan etc.

It was obvious this embargo was coming with all the circlejerking over tb2 on social media, the manufacturer itself being pretty straightforward about it on Twitter and last but not least Aliyev confirming some Turkish drones without specifying.

Hope it was worth the gamble Bayraktar. In the meantime go TAI and go Anka.


In a few months the Canadians will start exporting it again after all the crying has stopped so who cares... It’s not like this ban will stop Azeris from using the TB-2s right now. Just give the crying babies their toy until they fall asleep and after that it will be business as usual.

ps Considering that Aselsan has their own developments in the field I am not even slightly disappointed or sad about it.

How soon do you guys think Turkey can deliver Akinci to Azerbaijan? Wish Azerbaijan had heavy 1ton payload UCAVs along with TB-2s, that would deal a lot more damage to the Armos.

46 TB-2/ year
24 Akinci/year

There is precedent for this also. Canadians cried during operation spring shield but when it all settled, they started exporting again.
Anyways the bottom line is a leading drone power and tactics developer needs its own FLIR on his own drone. Its unbelievable how complacent we are and only wake up when someone slaps us. CATS and DASS should have been ready by now.

I was talking about calling Armenia an artificial state .Moving the discussion to Homo Erectus and what not doesn't change the fact that Nagorno Karabach was actually a gift from Stalin and Armenians were there a couple of thousand years before Turkic arrival. Hating on Armenians for clinging to their ancestral lands is a Turkic nationalistic knee jerk reaction but don't act surprised that most of the Western world,which is educated, actually knows the history of the region and, naturally, sympathises with the Armenians. That's all.

Gibralta, Falkland island, North and South America, Austria, Israel, Hong Kong, Macao... A long list of occupiers who kill or displace the natives. And the so called so called educated western or European are the greatest occupier and mass murderer. So, do us a favour and dont give us lesson in history or humanity. Your only sympathy belongs to Turk haters. We know this. You know this. At the right we will "care" of you.

Where is your sympathy with the Royhingwas?
