Yes but even in a war with a capable power if you can take out the air defenses first you can clear the way for UAVs. They will be a good supplement to the manned systems.
I don't see Pakistan doing that easily against India, but what ever
Rotax even make engines for go-carts. I come across to people who started their own small engines companies after working for companies like TEI before. I even came across to a person who is building a coaxial one seat helicopter. And the dude started making the thing from the engine. He has to make the engine too.
. I said "dude this will slow you down", he said "no it is the easier part". 
We got 1 year extension on the Atak helicopter deal we signed, if TS1400 could be certificed, or at least tested to hell and back within 1 year then we may be able to deliver the helicopters to Pakistan.
For once they got creative and innovative. Bets are open to guess which engine it is based on. I bet on PD170-PD180.
how big and heavy would the battery have to be to deliver enough power for the take off ?
Lets say the engine is PD170 and the plane requires full power of 170hp = 127 kW for take off. If you can climb to the altitude in say 5 minutes you need a battery with a capacity of 127*5/60 = 10.6 kW/h. Benchmarking with a Tesla battery of pack level density of 200 Wh/kg you need 10.6/0.2 = 53kg
USA can decide. Making business and "help" a NATO members defence industry. Or helping China industry.
Apply to Tubitak, they give up to TL 1 million lira or even more if the product is promising. The budget varies, supports you to establish a start-up, appoints a mentor, guides on license rights-patents.
Those suckers discriminate people on age and education. I don't have an engineering degree and I can not be considered young. But I have the ingenuity and a passion for making history in aviation which don't get evaluated by those who thinks they know better. But there are people in the world that appraise people by what you can make rather then who you are. And there is a challenge that gives $1mn as prize money not asking who you are but checking out what you are making and if your invention can fly. I am only $30k short before I can start building the history maker.
You don't need an education background actually, they are open for anything as long as you have sufficient background for your idea. There are several other projects like Bigg, or patent support.
I have already got patent support from Tubitak once. Bigg is for new graduates others have their conditions and everyone of them requires that you have your own money to start with. Angel investors are my best bet. Until of course you already have money and can employ engineers. But I have a time constrained thing this time when I have to be quick. Cheers.
