I would agree with KAAN A2A fighters. But what about UAVs for ground attack?

So your ground attack UAVs should always fly above straight the dangerous landscape of battle?
What about side mapping and side attack capabilities of UAV?

Or we should put 3x AESA plates which more expensive than the UAV?

Is there a lesson for Turkish aviation?

Modular manned jet fighter could be transformed into uncrewed jet fighter !!!

PD170 engine works still flawless...
You need at least 40.000 feet at all times with full load.

33.000 feet empty isn't enough in mountaneous Kandil area even against PKK MANPADs,
neither is the speed against turbojet missiles of Iran
and neither is the self protection capability and situational awareness against radars of updated Russian SHORADS as we have seen in Ukraine.
TB2-3 can't handle new capabilities of PKK, so how are they going to justify their cost, especially against Greek F-35s and Patriots?

Ukraine has billions of dollars aid but they didn't ask to buy single TB2 from Baykar, since they don't last even 1 day now.

They didn't ask for a single Reaper either... Which gets shot down by people in sandals quite often these days. These kind of drones simply became more vulnurable.

40k feet is not MALE but HALE, ther is no single manpad that can hit a target at that altitude. It have to fly straight to the target what is not possible. We will not use our drone against F35 and Patriots :D

The difference is American Reapers are getting shot down while trying to get a closer look and by underestimating Houthis. Our Anka, TB-2-3 series can't reach 40.000 loaded let alone Reaper's 50.000 feet even when they know for sure it is not safe to fly at 20-30K in mountanious areas.

Akıncı flying at 45K or safer yet F-16s should take over until Kizilelma relieves them from Kandil surveilance duty.

Reapers are not getting shot down with manpads, It is either Iranian long range SAMs or old yemeni 2K12M KUB. Unless Some country decides to give PKK S300 or Pantsir/2K12M equivalent system there is nothing to worry about. And If Some country does that, Then We would have to test akbaba on combat. Tuaf wouldnt allow PKK to establish serious SAM bubble. Manpads are impossible to locate since they are man portable unlike other systems we are talking. Any SAM system that needs vehicle, They will be located quickly. You cant hide them for long.

Iranians say they received the same 358 missile which Hezbollah and the Houthis operate and with which they managed to shot down multiple mq-9s at this point

It is very difficult to comment on this tweet below and probably if I make a comment it will be racist. It's not just Tb-3 or anything like that, there is a general situation with the Turkish interest and perspectives of the boys in this country lately.
İt seems to me IR seeker for SAM warning. Shouldn't be bigger and brighter if the part is EO?
