Russians laughing off the TB2 drone, Nlaws and Javelins when everybody knew they would be a threat is classic case of pride mixed with arrogance.

I remember Russian fanboys calling the TB2 as trash same with the Javelin even before this war the Javelin destroyed lots of Russian tanks in other conflicts.

Russian cope mechanism was the Sukhoi S70. I dont see that becoming operational any time soon.

Russian UAV systems are problematic. They are at least a full decade behind us.

Russian's are getting pathetic on Turkish UAVs and their claims on biological warfare. They can't even spare a few minutes to understand documents they are spreading online.

The content of email;
1- It is not related to export of Akinci to Ukraine, but related to export of MS500 to Turkey.

2- Questions are asked in liueu with export limitations according to a chapter Ukraine have signed with EU.

3- Ukraine asks these questions as a 'seller', Baykar is answering as a 'customer'.

4- With these questions, Ukraine is making sure the company (Baykar) states, the drone equipped with MS500 (Akinci) will not violate the export regulations of the military aircraff engines.

Honestly, by now, probably no one will buy Russian ground vehicles including tanks, APC, IFV, engineering equipment due to their abysmal performance in the war; couple that with loss of sales of Russian missiles and ammunition like rockets, cruise missiles and bombs due to their poor accuracy and the fact that some didnt even blow up during the war, lool

If any customers come, they will only buy the S300, S400, and Su-35 only
This is a catastrophe as not all customers will be able to afford these equipments and even if they do, Russia will have to offer massive incentives to try amd convince customers that even these arent defective

In summary, Russian defemse export market is screwed for at least the next 20 years

The TB-2 had had a legendary performance in Syria but the western media played it down in order to hide their incompetence, plus Turks were fighting their beloved baby the PKK/YPG.
Although the TB-2 reportedly have had many losses in Libya, it was one of the main reasons that ended the siege of Tripoli as a result securing three bases for the Turkish Navy and AF.

Video footages of the functioning Pantsir ADS, the pride of Russian defence industry, must have been so embarrassing for them that they started featuring the drone in their presentations of new weapons, also to be sure, they featured Akinci as an adversary for their "Checkmate" fighter.

Azerbbaijani TB-2s on top of that have obliterated a handsome chunk of the Armenian army and equipment, which primarily uses Soviet/Russian equipment.

Despite all the bad reports, smearing campaigns, downplaying, undermining, and claims of downing an insane number of TB2s, Neither Russia, nor LNA, nor Israelis and their buddies in the UAE, nor Armenians, nor the anti-Turk axis could prevent the TB-2 from being the "Kalashnikov of drones", securing sales in Poland and Ukraine amongst at least another dozen of buyers, which has angered Moscow.

I don't think that there will be any more of that because the drones have proven themselves on the battle grounds in many different terrains, climates and situations.
The best advertisements were really from the ones who were complaining about them yet trying to downplay their role at the same time, also, the TB-2 are "so 2011" now and Turkey has upped it a gear or two. Akinci, Aksungur, Simsek kamikaze, Göksungur, Kizilelma, Kargi are just a few that are going to change things from the roots in conflicts and wars.

Turkey has about a dozen more projects regarding unmanned systems that the public has no or very little info about. Watch out!
