Analizers say it's true. It fell on PKK territory. PKK says that's Akinci but don't count on that. If this is the case they will most probably send visual confirmation. No pictures for now.Posting this until it can be verified.

Why? Please enlight us, with your knowledge.Also if thos was an engine failure, that says a lot about whether it's even possible to produce a jet fighter engine in the next few years
Beringer makes wheel assemblies and more importantly brake systems for light vehicles like aircraft and motorbikes. Baylar also uses(or used to use) them.The landing gear on the left of the picture of the Aksungur is French. Beringer.

Manpads maybe not, what about medium range AD?Engine development is all trial and error.
Along with testing alongside maturity which take decades.
Regardless if its tanks, cars, f1 or even jet fighters. It comes with positives and negatives.
If it was engine failure this means the engine will have to be improved. If it was downed by combat related issue this will lead to more improvements and countermeasures.
I doubt PKK has downed the Aksungur as they have no capabilties to down it even their Manpads cant reach the Aksungurs altitude.

Do we know what the US has handed the YPG? We lost 4 drones since June this year, 2 of them in the Kandil area
Such a system is not something that can go under the radar of the intelligence. This is not a system that you can hide like that. The moment such system arrives it will be hit.If it was exposed we would already hunt for the AD systems. We don't know.
We also do not know whether our drones were shot down (except one in Syria that was downed by the US F16) or crashed due to internal failure (is possible too)
What we do know is that we lost 4 drones within 6 months (2 in Kandil area, one in Gara area, all in Iraq, and one in Syria) that we cannot rule out whether or not they have been shot down. It is very possible that YPG/PKK got MR AD systems from the US.
TSK more than likely have some ideas of what happened. What will they publicly share is another question.4 drones gone TSK as usual have no clue. At least 100 million USD is evaporated. Why did we pay billions to E-7Ts? They would detect manpads and koral should detect EW attacks. Send them to border to investigate constantly from now on. Sheesh. When will TSK wake up, after 44 drones?
