Akinci PT-3 First flight
The almost all published information comes from which is already present on the internet. But a few shares somethings through their personal contacts which can be problematic. The forumers here are very sensitive and reactive about this.Aren’t we publishing just too much information with all these photos? Why are we showing so much information to foreign nations? I feel like we’ve already given away all the secrets of Akıncı, before we could even get a chance to fly it on a regular basis. Each day, we see yet another part of it exposed. I wouldn’t be surprised that foreign defence experts have already analyzed all the components inside and outside, created a 3D model of Akıncı and discovered its radar signature. I feel like this is the case with all of our equipment. A 9 years old could find the schematics for our military equipment in a matter of minutes. I’m seriously concerned about this issue.

I guess it depends on what kind of enemy the US is fighting right? I dont think the US will ever get into a full blown war with a weak country ever again that would require these.The U.S. Army Goes to School on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Off-the-shelf air power changes the battlefield of the future.
BY JACK DETSCH | MARCH 30, 2021
When Azerbaijan took over the skies in its fight with Armenia over the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh last fall, winning the air war with commercial Turkish and kamikaze drones, one thing started to become clear to U.S. Army strategists: It’s becoming easier to hunt and kill troops than ever before—and to do so on the cheap.....

Thats the benefit of having such a big military budget i suppose?Also a term like “on the cheap” just doesn’t exist in the US Armed Forces... Even if their strategists and planners copy the TB-2 warfare tactics I am sure that they will manage to pull it off with some astronomical prices like any other military program or conflict that they have started recently.

Don't want to sound mean but did Baykar buy those jackets from BIM?
