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.

I presume, some of those are the reserves ?

RSF shoots down Sudan’s third Akinci drone

In the ongoing civil war that has ravaged Sudan since April 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have achieved another milestone in their efforts to contest the Sudanese Armed Forces’ (SAF) d…

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.

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

Yaşar Abi, Quasar it’s hard to dismiss your well defined, clear point but it’s also worth remembering that Turkey‘s got herself into a geopolitical game in the region thru bi-lateral relationships with almost every nation on the map. In this particular case, it’s Sudanese Armed Forces is backed up by Turkey.
So, it’s more of an acceptable loss in return of an expected gain for Turkey rather than an uncalculated export craze for any buyer readily available out there to cough up cash.

Also, any serious future buyer with adequate to well structured military build up would have known enough to weight, measure and distinguish between the short comings of the product and user.
