You cant be wronger. From TF-2000, over REIS to TF-X to SIPER. None of them are "lets-do-it-today" jobs. All long term.
I was thinking about the same thing pfffffff I hope we can find a solution before it's too lateAI-350(GEZGIN Prototype)
AI-450 (AKINCI)
MS-500 (AKINCI)
AI-25 variant (MIUS-A)
AI-322 variant (MIUS-B)
TV3-117 variants (ATAK 2, 10 ton Utility)
Motor Sich - TRMOTOR APU
Motor Sich - TRMOTOR Engineering, Know-How Transfer
Antonov-Potential MMU Engineering Assitance
Ukrainian FED Aerospace Company- Actuators development for MMU and other aircraft programs.
Proposed Baykar R&D and Excellence Center (According to latest interview, property was bought by Baykar)
Ukranian Milgem Program is done. Likely would wait in the shipyard until new purchaser is found.
Around 4 billion investment from Turkish companies, fate unknown.
Then there is also not known programs.

If only there were a way to get some important brains or technological know how we're really unlucky.Sadly, I think license production is not commenced.
For Gezgin. AI-305 might had been acquired. Maybe license production but it is unlikely given the timeline of ARAT project. Likely low production for prototypes. At worst delays, testing with different engines.
Akinci. TEI likely will prioritize MS500 alternative. According to Defence Turkey, PD series performs similar to AI-450 in high altitudes. Alternatively, PW PT6s as interim solution for MS500.
MIUS-A, AI-25 could be replaced with commercial business jet engines until alternative turbine engine is developed. Or maybe develop way to modernize existing AI-25 engines for MIUS-A prototypes.
MIUS-B, there is not many alternatives. Western engines can be used for prototypes but not reliable for serial production. National alternative is only choice.
ATAK, 10 ton utility, there is no reliable alternative. Changing engines again to an interim solution, delays.
TRMOTOR APU, should not be an serious issue. Biggest loss will be potential know how, consulting, assitance that could had been gained from Motor Sich. Similar for Antonov.
FED Company. Good actuators are very difficult to develop. This could had been an important source for transferring expertise.
Ongoing conflict is a test for proposed scenarios of TB2 operations against a complex opponent.
Ukrainians would have to excel in using it in a asymmetrical manner. Meaning using makeshift airstrips. and not for armed roles to not risk losing valuable ISR asset.
I think this conflict highlights again importance for also smaller UAVs. Easier to operate under heavy fighting and more difficult to track.
Best strategy for Ukraine would had been to focus on smaller UAVs. Simpler loitering munitions.
if there were no political consequences, Ukraine would be a perfect testing ground for KARGI
I wish we already transferred engineers and some blue prints, data.TEI is at horrible state in terms of engineering right now. Don't expect jet engines a couple years more.

In my opinion, we even should have transferred production lines

that would be true if we had footage of downed drones. Russian MoD claims they downed 5 drones but refuses to elaborate further.I think the aura of invincibility around the Turkish UAVs is gone.
People here won't be talking about UAVs shooting down 4th gen fighter jets for a long time.
even if they are not destroyed yet, they are certainly not doing muchthat would be true if we had footage of downed drones. Russian MoD claims they downed 5 drones but refuses to elaborate further.
the main thing about Turkish drones in Ukraine right now is that we have no footage. At all.
And we probably wont hear anything about the fate of the drones until the conflict is over.
So the "aura of invincibility" might be still there, or not. TB2 is the little Schrodingers drone right now.
Might be, might not. we simply Do. Not. Know.even if they are not destroyed yet, they are certainly not doing much
I believe they are destroyed.
The reason why they were so effective against Armenia was that Armenia didn't have an air force.
Your brain exists for its predictive capability. Use it.I'm going to refrain from even thinking about the TB2's until this conflicts over and hard evidence starts to roll in. I suggest you do the same. Otherwise you'd look quite the fool.

I was never afraid to make predictions and I am usually right.
For example, around 2015 I said BMC would screw up Altay production and it's exactly what happened.
