False. That's not how embassies work. It is still very much Turkish soil.
Respectfully, it is not. Explaining sovereignty of an embassy or consulate is a nightmare for even the most experienced lawyers, let alone not a lawyer me. All I can say, we have no jurisdiction there

If Serbs renounce russia, then yes. I can see that. If not, I don't know. Doesn't seem possible.

Either way, we got their backs now. It's not the 90s anymore. Whoever attacks Kosovo or Bosnia will face the consequences much faster than the last war.

Weapons embargo was placed so the people who are oppressed cant fight back.

Weapons embargo placed upon Bosnia led to the genocide.

Thats what they want sheeps to the slaughter.

Interesting is how Greece constantly backs Serbia in nearly everything even if its at odds with Nato.

But somehow Turkiye is the unreliable ally that is destabilising Nato.

Turkiye is not just earning money but also furthering its influence in the Balkans while allowing countries that were raped and destroyed to be able to fight back.

What burns the Europeans especially is how close Bosnia and Kosovo are to Turkiye. Basically these countries are under Turkish influence from culture and religion.

Americans and Europeans are not liking Turkiye's export successes.

The number of strategic and most critical components in the system architecture of Baykar products is certain and limited. And also, these cannot be transferred to a country that does not have the infrastructure to engineer these systems. What can be transferred is final assembly, perhaps a system design office for limited configuration flexibility. In this way, Baykar gives KSA access to Bayraktar systems, which will be produced entirely for its army's own unique needs.

Don't they already have enough lines to produce goods for export?
It would be kind of weird if they build individual manufacturing lines to export to individual countries.
Or am I misunderstanding something?
MKE sells machines that produce ammunition. With the agreement they made, they export the machine tool technology developed by 9 companies for ammunition production.

Does anyone know what sort of ToT will Baykar provide to Saudi Arabia? Will it be something critical or just some sort of an assembly plant like with the Karayel drone?

I think, they will manufacture the fuselage.
Other than that, actuators, electronics, sensors and payload will be provided by Baykar and other Turkish companies involved.

I am not sure if Baykar itself actually develops the composite material.
They porbbaly outsource it commercially off the shelf and cut it according to their needs.

They must be using prepregs and molds like everyone else to cast their parts.

Regarding Saudi Arabia, let us hear the numbers.
The biggest deal in defence was so far the export ships to India worth 2.3 bln € if i'm not mistaken.
If Baykar is telling the truth, it has to be a massive deal. We're talking hundreds of drones.



And when I hear the MKE numbers and sales from stock, I'm thinking Ukraine.

Turkish police literally raided the embassy. Police can't raid foreign soil with a Turkish prosecutor in tow.

Thinking about that Indian Navy tanker deal for 5 ships though. First ship was to be delivered in 2025 but we've seen no updates either in Turkey or in India. I believe they were to be built in India. Was the final agreement even signed? This piece from March 2022 says "any day now".

Anyone with knowledge?

Are there any developments on that front? I don't remember any news about it for long time.

Did Pakistan have any objections to this, cuz it doest seem fair to them.
They're combat support vessels.

And I don't think Pakistan is in a position to dictate our dealings with other countries.
