It is also a counterweight in the Mediterranean to France, Greece/Cyprus and Egypt. Neither Spain nor Italy want or tolerate France having or gaining too much power in the Mediterranean through its proxies such as Greece/Cyprus & Egypt. That is why they support Turkey pragmatically, e.g. through armaments cooperation or other Support Projects such as Navantia & Co and Leonardo with Italy in the near future.
Yes, this situation is especially evident today.

Meanwhile, it is also stated that Erdoğan will go to Italy in 2 weeks.

It is also not nice to make enemies of Algeria. They have a competent army, they can shoot down drones easily. They are going to receive Su57 this year. It is a country we should build better relations with.
Whats it got to do with us that you make such a statement?
We have good relations with Algeria.

Incidents like this dont help
Turkish-Algerian relations are very strong at all levels, and an incident like this has nothing to do with the two countries...Rather, it is a geopolitical dispute between Mali and Algeria...

In the end , Turkey is a manufacturer and seller of weapons, and even Algeria is a buyer of Turkish drones and It is not surprising that she would use them one day against these Malians.

If you sell it to any Tom Dick and Harry to make a quick buck without accompanying EW set up. If you sell it to countries that don't know how to use it properly and if they are used in airspace where modern AD are present, what do you expect?

These are lethargic, cumbersome, slow and comparatively large birds. They are not stealthy. They should be used with stand off ammo. Not pushed in to the heart of fighting, unless you have air dominance in the skies.

They are not that cheap either.
Also they are not replacement of a full fledged fighter jet.
If used in accordance with what it can and can not do, it is a great asset to have. But you should always be aware of it's shortcomings.

Thank you people need realose there is no such thing as a God weapon or a wonder weapon that can beat anything.

Every weapon system has its short comings. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Alot of Western and Russian tank fanboys were in cope mode about the destruction of their favourite tanks.

Nothing is invincible every weapon system has its advantages and disadvantages. They also have their short comings.1 weapon system would be state of the art until its get overtaken or beaten by another. That same one that beaten the system will also get beaten.

There needs to be a R&D unit to actively research potential threats and develops prototypes to test it against active platforms. As an example, we should have had already developed Iranian Missile 358 style missile and tested against TB2, Akinci, T129 and so on. Baykar UAVs are one of the most used in the world thus far more likely to be victim of new threats. It could be PR nightmare if they start getting shot down constantly. OPFOR needs to be taken seriously.
