How can a jet that was even named in March make its first flight in December? I still find it hard to understand.

Experience, gained from the two previous platforms and a little tolerance towards risks. They have gained lots of trust that a little failure may not hurt their reputation. They seem to have enough confidence. And contrary to my estimation the first prototype is a carrier capable one, amazing.

Can you see the similarity between KE MIUS and the image from Ukrainians?

I still find it bloody crazy on how Baykar can get a jet drone that was just announced in March to bloody fly in December! That is just bloody insane! This is the first time Baykar makes jet drones that have carrier-landing capabilities; thus, the risks and the fact that this is a completely new field for Baykar makes the challenge extremely difficult and yet they somehow succeeded in doing so!

I dont know what sort of witchcraft Baykar is using but for sure it is a productive one. Baykar is producing top-quality drones in such short periods that they put major armed drone producers like US's boeing or GE to bloody shame.

No witchcraft, just a lot of young and talented working on this project fir some years and a little foreign assistance.

So that's why @Anmdt hinted the first hop for today. He knew about these developments all along.
For all that fuss took place yesterday, i really expected it to fly, not just an endurance test.

Magic. (Not actually, harworking + taking a shortcut in the avionics for the first flights)

What kind of foreign aid? Can you explain.
Foreign engineers. Unlike other Turkish companies, baykar didn't have problems with hiring foreign engineers since both the company and the engineers themselves were Happy to collaborate with each other. Other turkish companies should take note of this if they want to become global brands.

"Within the scope of the interstate agreement signed between Turkey and Ukraine shortly before the Russian invasion, Baykar decided to establish its first manufacturing facility outside of Turkey in Ukraine.

Answering Reuters' questions during the defense industry fair SAHA Expo, Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar stated that they have a strong cooperation with Ukraine and said, "We are progressing as planned, where production and R&D activities will be carried out. Currently, we have left the architectural design and detailed design part behind. We even decided to start construction... We want to complete (the plant) in two years," he said."

I hope the Russians don't hit the factory to be built. It didn't make much sense to me.

Are you sure. You may have confused it with Tusaş.

A cadre of foreign engineers employed by any company does not constitute foreign assistance let alone foreign aid.
If those mentioned engineers - individually or as a group - had been sanctioned by a foreign government to participate in any Baykar projects, then that would’ve been maybe considered as such

No. Baykar has even more foreign engineers than Tusas. Also the PR and the money pouring from exports helped grow the company very fast.


And the second thing for you is to come with some proof.
