The PR and air time it's having because of this is worth a lot more than the few TB-2s which were donated. Especially as Mr. Bayraktar says the the funds should instead go for humanitarian relief. Priceless ads and promotions for TB-2, Baykar, Turkish defence industry and technology, and Türkiye and its people.
Priceless!

Who are you shareholder of Baykar? You seem to have forgotten Baykar is private entity that is founded for making money.

Drones are being handed out like candy.
For countries like Lithuania and Poland I have no problem with their fundraisers. Turkiye is already getting close with Poland and the Baltic countries as we have a common enemy which is Russia.
But Norway hell no. These pieces of shit embargoed us. No drones for them.
They should send the weapons they witheld to us to Ukraine.

Peskov spoke about the timing of the war in Ukraine
The Kremlin does not set "time limits" on the issue of war in Ukraine, says the press secretary of the head of the ruling regime in Russia.
There is no "time frame" in the duration of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, since "the main thing is efficiency." This was stated by Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, the RIA Novosti propaganda publication reports on its Telegram channel on Monday, July 18.
"The Russian "special operation" will end when all its goals are achieved, there are no clear time frames, the main thing is efficiency," the Kremlin spokesman assures.
Recall, Peskov said earlier that Russia is currently "using only a small part of its potential" during the invasion of Ukraine.
In addition, Vladimir Putin earlier also said that Russia "has not yet started anything in earnest" in Ukraine.

Turkey is difficult to balance between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The Foreign Minister commented on the current political relations between Ukraine and Turkey.
Turkey is playing a difficult game of balancing. In particular, The country helps Ukraine to unblock the ports for the export of grain and demonstrates that she is ready to help Russia. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with Forbes, published on Monday, July 18.
He noted that Kyiv has a number of questions to Ankara.
“We started talking frankly about them with our Turkish partners. It’s like in a relationship between friends, there are several stages: at first you start to notice that something is not right, but you keep silent - well, friend. And then it grows and you understand that it's time for a conversation. We started this conversation. Turkey helped us a lot in military terms, political terms, but if questions arise, we will solve them," the official explained.
He also noted that Turkey is a member of NATO and it behaves constructively in the issue of unblocking the membership of Sweden and Finland.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry added that full-fledged negotiations between Ukraine and Turkey could take place soon, where they would discuss all issues face to face.
Recall, Kuleba said that Ukraine is two steps away from a deal with Russia on the export of Ukrainian grain.
Later, Kuleba said that negotiations to unblock Ukrainian ports were in the final stage.

In Mariupol, the young man went to the square with the Ukrainian flag
"Even occupied, Mariupol does not surrender. The young man went to the square near the Drama Theater bombed by rashists with the flag of Ukraine. Real courage to do this when even for the Ukrainian language you can get to the basement.
Tens of thousands of people still cannot leave the city. But they are waiting and dream that Mariupol will soon be Ukrainian again,"

In other words: "We still don't really know what's going on. Every time we have a strategy, it gets ruined so we bomb civilians".

No any sign of ammo detonation at all. They just destroyed furniture factory. This is how ammo detonation looks like:
Footage of the destruction of the Ukrainian armored vehicle "Kozak 2M.1" by the Russian army has been published. The armored vehicle "Kozak 2M.1" was introduced in 2016, depending on the configuration, small arms or a 40-mm UAG-40 automatic grenade launcher can be installed on it. In this video, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun is mounted on an armored vehicle. Depending on the modification, the armored vehicle can carry up to 15 paratroopers. The price of the armored car is 318 thousand dollars.
Soldiers of the Ukrainian army published footage of the destroyed American howitzer M777 in Ukraine. The M777 howitzer was reportedly destroyed during counter-battery firing by Russian artillery.
The first American M270 MLRS arrived in Ukraine from Britain, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said. In addition, the US and NATO will provide Ukraine with data from their satellite systems to target these MLRS strikes. The installations will also be supplied with ATACMS Block IA missiles with a target engagement range of up to 80 km. The release of the MLRS M270 began in 1982, now it is in service with 17 countries. Despite its considerable age, the M270 retains its high fighting qualities. The MLRS chassis is unified with the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, which simplifies operation. The M270 multiple launch rocket system does not have rocket launchers. Instead, the M269 module is used, made in the form of an armored box with seats for transport and launch containers. The MLRS contains two containers, which makes it possible to fire a salvo of 12 227 mm caliber missiles at a range of 10 to 150 km for new missiles manufactured in 2022. After firing, the container is removed, and a new one is installed in its place. Thanks to this architecture, the MLRS can also launch two MGM-140 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles with a caliber of 610 mm, at a distance of up to 270 km. MLRS preparation time for firing: 2 minutes, cruising range: 500 km, M270 MLRS cost $ 4 million.

Those gained areas by Russia are only going to get harder and harder to sustain and at the same time them safe from Ukrainian attacks and/or saboteurs.
Russia has bit more than it could chew also to its own surprise. These areas are not going to be as easy as Crimea or the Donbas.
That being said, Ukraine needs something no less than a miracle to get these lands back and I don't think Russia cares about living standards or infrastructure in these lands, so it may keep them for quite a long time albeit in very dire conditions.
