What is PG115 used for? We made a Rotax like engine, just for Herons? TEI could develop engine for TB2 in a year.

PG115 is a modified Heron (aka Gözcü) engine. It is a modification of an existing engine. We don't have any commercial rights to that engine so we can't serially produce and sell it. It is a pimp my ride engine.

True TEI can produce an engine for TB2 in a very short time that has a great altitude/hp ratio but the goal is to let Ukrainians use their own engines.

PG115 is the spitting image of the Rotax engine, probably reverse engineered.

Rotax 914 is more than 30 years old and does not fall under patenting rights anymore (everyone who wants can in principle reverse engineer and use it, just like what MKE does with many other cannon systems)

Azerbaijan will get Akıncı UCAV. Oil and gas prices are surging. Azerbaijan has a huge amount of untapped gas reserves. Azerbaijan is extracting shallow gas reserves their deep reserves are untapped. There is an insane amount of gas in deep reservoirs in Azerbaijani gas fields.

Studies started for the integration of national BVR and WVR missiles into UCAV platforms. We might see test launches from Akıncı this year. This will positively affect the Mius project.

This also implies that the integration process of national AESA into Akinci has started, correct?

Very likely but we are not sure as no concrete information is made available at the moment. WVR missile will probably be the first missile to be integrated into Akıncı.

Mr. Selçuk Bayraktar: "Azerbaijani experts are involved in the development of Bayraktar TB-3 unmanned aerial vehicle.

Bayraktar TB-3 unmanned aerial vehicle, whose prototype is currently developed, will be able to stay in the air for more than 50 hours."

Very postive article in mainstream Danish media regarding TB2 and it's role in Karabakh. They basically say that Russia is really upset that Turkey sold these drones to Ukraine as the drones have a history of wrecking russian equipment 😂

@Oryx is mentioned as a source in the article!

Well, he respectively his blog was also mentioned in one of the most prestigious newspapers in Germany. If I recall correctly, it was the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

If it is going to have a long range Aesa radar as advertised, wouldn’t it be defeating the object by utilising a WVR missile? What can it be used to shoot? Unless it is to be configured to be used against AD missiles.
Wouldn’t it be more apt to use a BVR missile?

this is a definitive prove that tb-3 was not a naval drone as people think it is . it's an upgrade for both navy and land force
