i remember TB2 was 1 million dollar after a few years it increased to 5 millions dollars now it is 15 millions, not bad at all! bigger platforms like Akinci will make more money, ohh we're starting to smell the money in this sector

While the deals cannot be compared one to one due to many variables, it is clear that Baykar is milking the European countries.

 

[Deliorman]

Why milking them? I am sure that it is still much cheaper than the Israeli and US alternatives...

Our Indigenous Wings in the Croatian Skies!

A historic agreement between Baykar and the Croatian Ministry of Defense for the export of #BayraktarTB2 UCAV was signed in Zagreb.

With this agreement, #BayraktarTB2 has entered the defense inventory of yet another NATO and EU member state.

Repkon has made an agreement with Wah Industries Limited (WIL) to establish a production and filling line for 155mm artillery shell bodies in Pakistan.

Under the signed contract, a highly automated turnkey line will be set up for the annual production of 120,000 155mm shell bodies. An explosive filling line will also be established to match this capacity.

WIL operates under the Pakistan Ordnance Factories, which is responsible for producing various weapons, ammunition, and military equipment for the Pakistan Armed Forces and foreign customers.

Repkon opening factories left and right, I hope they get a guaranteed number of orders per year to justify the investment.

On the other hand, how much I wish that our regular industry and companies would have been more risk taking and export & growth oriented, instead of focusing inwards and becoming the king in a small pond. How much potential was wasted in the last decades because of our backward mindset in entrepreneurship.
