AKINCI resting before the flight ...

Looks like they fixed the open exhaust pipe?

 

[Combat-Master]

More images of PT-3 - Notice at the rear hanging down it's got a Line-Of-Sight data-link antenna, likely C2Tech UFUK-HX10 , Savronik DLS-100 or perhaps Baykar Makina developed LOS.

At the end we see retracting land gear (front & aft)

300000th hour of flight passed by the TB2!

Baykar has made $360 million in export sales in 2020: AA

 

[adenl]

If the annual production rate is 46 TB2's then Baykar could've produced more than 180 TB2's by now.

Baykar made 360 million USD worth of UAV export in 2020

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1363752872991744000

With approximately 180+ TB2's produced but with 160 TB2's in the inventory of all the TB2 users, means that roughly 20 TB2's have been lost so far.

 

[Combat-Master]

Bayraktar TB2 UAVs
● From 50,000 flight hours to 80,000 flight hours (+30,000 hours) = ~ 6 months
● From 80,000 flight hours to 100,000 flight hours (+20,000 hours) = ~ 6 months
● From 100,000 flight hours to 130,000 flight hours (+30,000 hours) = ~ 4 months

The sustainability at such flight hours is crazy good, more UAVs please.

Anyone got the numbers of how many were approx. ordered by Ukraine and Azerbaijan?
I want to know the unit price of one TB2.

This is something we will have to speculate, rather than know as it involves control units, who is buying it etc. etc.
But one thing we know that Mr Bayraktar himself said that the cost of 12 TB2‘s was equal 1/5th of the cost of 10 Herons for which we paid 250 million in 2010.

That puts it as 50 million for 12 tb2’s. Approximately 4.2 million a piece in 2010. So today 5-6 million a piece??

Quote:
2010 yılında İsrail'e 250 milyon dolar ödenerek 10 adet Heron alınmıştı. Maliyeti tartışma konusu haline getirilen Bayraktar TB2'den tam 12 adeti İsrail'e ödenen rakamın 5'te 1'ine TSK envanterine girdi
Unquote.

Türkiye, dünyanın en iyisini 5'te 1 fiyatına yaptı!

Kısa süre önce silahlandırılarak terörle mücadelede daha aktif bir rol üstlenen Bayraktar 'İHA', Heron için İsrail'e ödenen rakamın 5'te 1'ine TSK envanterine girdi.

1-2mio

 

[King_West]

1-2mio

Thats too cheap.

 

[Oublious]

A unit was 1 control room and 3 bayraktar, 5/6 million dollar.

 

[Glass🚬]

Thats too cheap.

Thats just the drone itself without training,munition, ground station etc.

Thats still extremely cheap. If thats the case, what do the Chinese sell their drones for? Do they give them as a gift when you buy a box of cereal? I might as well save up and buy a drone myself than lol

A ChinaPower report on Chinese UAV technologies indicates that a Wing Loong II likely costs $1-2 million, compared with $16 million for the Reaper.14 Jun 2019

China finds its UAV export sweet spot

While most countries that make armed UAVs are signed up to international export restrictions, Beijing remains a freewheeling aerial arms dealer - with unbeatable prices
