MFA Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu revealed that Portugal is in negotiations with Baykar for TB2 acquisition. The Baykar exports map has changed to include Portugal in the likely users of TB2.

Finally the full map of the Kingdom of Morocco!

You buy drone, you get territory. Pretty straightforward. Both in real life and in maps lol.

Truly, these drones are part of the Turkish way of hybrid war. Drones + mercs + special forces equals curbstomp of classical hybrid warfare opponents. This is why westoids hate it. They can't just arm some militia to do neo colonialism anymore. Ask Ethiopia, they narrowly avoided catastrophe thanks to the drones.

I was referring to the map that has in the past been posted incompletely in the forum. However, the Moroccan Sahara has been in our possession since the 60s. Indeed drones will help the poor African countries that are fighting insurgents, or other types of militias funded by the west, and especially France.

Seems like you haven't been following; the map had already been updated within a few days of when we had a discussion and not recently.

S. Korean KUS UCAV which is similar to our Anka-3 drone is in assembly line. Turkiye and S. Korea work on many systems/technologies simultaneously and reveal products at similar times. Hope to see Anka-3 and Göksungur on assembly line soon.

Big Boy Optics, anyone able to ID it ?

It looks like

WESCAM MX™-25, Air Surveillance and Reconnaissance

The WESCAM MX-25 EO/IR imaging system – ideal for ultra-high, long-endurance surveillance and reconnaissance missions from manned and unmanned airborne platforms.

is Göksungur still a thing or is it just another name for Anka-3?

Actually, relations were Baykar and L3Harris was really close before the Canadian embargo. AFAIK the wescam flirs were assembled in Turkey by Baykar.

By the way, was the TB3 given to Baykar through a tender? Because Tusaş has more advanced technology and know-how. It is also a state organization, a significant part of the money remains in the state.

i think TB-3 project was started by Baykar itself, as a "what could we do?"

 

[Oublious]

Aksugur was not a tender project to either, or Anka 3.

 

[Radko]

We should keep in mind that sadly these projects are not because of state or government, but companies and their leading team.


it is sad to see that most of aviation projects are not state funded

If our state or private defence companies were to wait for tenders before they started research and development of new platforms, we wouldn’t be able to get anywhere.
All companies need to know how to take initiative and develop platforms like these.
Hurjet was the same. All produced with Tusas‘s own finances. Now they have a definite order of 4 planes.
No one asked Baykar to produce the Kizilelma. They knew they had to produce it to keep their edge in the marketplace.
Tusas doesn’t have a small enough UCAV like TB2 that has proven itself, upon which a version of a more advanced UCAV with a possibility of naval use can be developed. Neither Anka nor Aksungur can be suitable for the end use Baykar is contemplating for TB3.

Is it the same thing? We're not talking about classic drones. If such a need arose after the F35, or an idea emerged, all the companies involved in this business and the SSB would sit down and talk. In Mius, it is called TCG Anadolu, there is a lack of planning and a fait accompli. Classic Turkish business...

Why doesn't Tusaş make an drones like the tb2, because there is no need, it already exists. It can even be done for competition, but it is a matter of budget, needs and priorities. But the TCG Anadolu and the ship-launched iha project is a new project in the world, so I said that the parties should sit down and draw a plan and a framework.
