A new embargo for Bayraktar TB2s came from the British Andair company. At the request of the Armenian Embassy in the UK, it stopped the fuel system delivery to Andair Baykar.

But this is okay,

Embargo components applied for Bayraktar TB2 SİHA are "easy to produce"


Following the investigation opened after the Armenian Embassy in England contacted the Andair company in November 2020 regarding the suspension of the supply to Baykar, it was announced that the British Andair company, which supplied the fuel system components used in Bayraktar TB2s, stopped the delivery of the said components.


Baykar Defense uses two products, a check valve (one-way valve) and a water trap, produced by Andair, in Bayraktar TB2 SİHAs. However, it is stated that these products are very easy to design and produce and are sub-components that can be purchased by anyone who wants to in a virtual environment.

Parts used in Bayraktar TB2 SİHA's fuel system and supplied from Andair company:

The check valve ensures that the flowing fuel passes one way. Water trap is a reservoir in which water collapses when water is mixed with the fuel. If it is considered as a bowl, it can be said that the water heavier than the fuel gets filled into this bowl during the passage and stays there.

These two products are very cheap and can even be purchased online, as they do not require an end user certificate. It is possible to supply from many places, even locally. As an additional information, it is stated that Baykar Defense designed the more advanced check valve used for Bayraktar AKINCI Offensive UAV.

So far, Bulgaria, Serbia, and to an extent, the UK have voiced their interest in the Bayraktar TB2.
Who knows, maybe the TAI ANKA has drawn some attention.
ANKA was also successfully (but rather away from the spotlights) used in Syria and Libya operations.
dont sell it to serbia, that kind of strategic asset in their possesion is not very pleasant fact to cope with.

Serbia close to china and Russia... Also, sold army tech to karabakh against Turkish interest.. they got Chinese drones, first thing they would do is share its radar cross section and so on...

High tech weaponry especially drones are not sold without agreements and technical surveillance etc cause it is common in military contracts that if a country buys a weapon system it will not be allowed to give classified info to a third party example mistral missiles sold to serbia by france

you really think they will do it openly? nobody says hey i just share your info.. doing a training together does most of the job.. or simply share it, thats why intelligence for.. Turkey sold ANKA to Egypt, but as soon as Sisi came to power, Turkey refused to deliver, guess why?
