117Akıncı + TB2s+ TB3s + KIZILELMA ( ANKAs, AKSUNGUR), I wonder where we keep them and how they are distributed? it seems that BAYKAR facilities become unoffical part of our Air force structure since all these drones requires airfields, runways, hangars, thec and maintenace crews, operators.........

I think not only the numbers but the required infrastructure and command structure should be an interesting question???

I would assume the majority has been exported.

If you sell these drones to countries that don’t have a modern airforce and they try to utilise them like modern attack fighters, this is what you get. Even some rebels now have alr defence missiles. Also countries like China can easily supply the AD missiles to these rebels as they would love to see the name of Bayraktar tarnished.

Third Akinci brought down in that area now. We shouldn’t sell these to any “Tom, Dick and Harry”. We should be choosier in supplying these drones. Also there should be specific guidelines about the use of these with regards to where and how.

I am not sure about our Surveillance capabilities in Sudan but guess as we all know that the issue is not just about MAMs, Kemankeş IHA 230 or Çakır or the rest from a seemingly endless list of ammunitions ..... but definitly Surveillance is also crucial i.e SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT in line with them EW and ECM capabilities either with on board systems or Land based ones.

Not just during our operations in Syria or Iraq But we should be able to provide these essentials satisfactoraly during our overseas operations like Sudan
unfortunatly frankly speaking “Tom, Dick and Harry” are our main customers, we may try to provide them proper traning, supervision and full package with affordable prices we may also learn valuable lessons and adopt, I know it is easier said than done.... but the ball is in our court... unfortunaty as we know even PKK rats managed to shot down our drone with İranian 358
