Baykar is already the leader in the world.
I am afraid, that is a short sighted and nationalistic view and approach.
You can’t be a world leader of UAVs and UCAVs if you don’t have :
1. unrestricted access to turboshaft and turbofan engines and
2. unrestricted access to markets you can sell to.
What Baykar has accomplished is extraordinary. With all the restrictions Türkiye has been subjected to, they made this country and Baykar the number one in UAV and UCAV sales.
But to achieve “continuation of success” and going forward to become “true” world leaders, they need those unrestricted avenues to be open to them.
That is what the Italian minister is trying to convey.
A marriage made in heaven!
