“Production is booked for years ahead”: in Turkey, the production volumes of Bayraktar TB2 drones were announced

34

High demand in the world market for Turkish drums Drones, observed after the Karabakh war of 2020, has fully loaded the capacity for the production of UAVs.

According to the head of the manufacturing company BAYKAR Haluk Bayraktar, initially the company produced only one drone per month; now this figure has increased to 20 cars. As indicated, every 10 days, customers receive one Bayraktar TB2 complex, consisting of 6 UAVs. At the same time, the high demand for this system led to the construction of a second production base.



The BAYKAR production line is booked for 3 years ahead. We want to release a lot more Bayraktar TB2

- said the CEO.

At the additional site, the annual production of Bayraktar TB2 drones will be 46 units, AKINCI - 24 units. $33,4 million is being invested in the new facility. It will be located in Istanbul [apparently, it was decided not to build a plant in Ukraine]. 1122 people will work on it.

The TB2 has proven itself with over 400 flight hours. Since 000, he continues to successfully perform tasks in the Turkish armed forces. Currently, 2014 Bayraktar platforms are in the service of Turkey, Qatar, Ukraine and Azerbaijan [and other countries]

- indicated on the company's website, naming the total supply of shock UAVs.

Given the serious APU losses in TB2, their real number should be much less.

    A chic thing for Africa. They will buy Bayroktars, and they will sit in palaces, afraid to go out into the street. Until one buys Shell 1C. bullyEach ruler from Africa should have his own Bayroktar and Shell 1C, a kind of "comprehensive set".

    Yes, Bayraktar TB2, one of the best UAVs in its class, our Inohodets is more like a bad copy of this UAV, and we also have big problems with production that we cannot overcome, for unknown reasons.

      Best at what? In the absence of air defense, as in Karabakh, probably yes, but if as in Ukraine, then probably not the best.

    One author writes that the biker will soon go bankrupt, another that the capacities are occupied for years to come. They made anti-advertising like, but there are more and more people who want it. And yes, for the information of the author, the plant in Istanbul began to be built a long time ago, and the Ukrainian one was announced the other day.

      Poland is a big order, in the process (it seems to be moved by agreement, because U has priority).
      Bangladesh - 2 complexes under 23 years old.
      Kyrgyzstan - 1 complex has yet to be delivered, several more are in the process.

      Pakistan - from 6 to 12 complexes + starting foreign customer Akinchi.

      Turkmenistan - just a month ago, in addition to the army, the complexes were ordered by the Navy in the naval version.


      Slovakia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Albania are in the negotiation process.

      Akinchi - Pakistan and Azerbaijan are firm contracts.

      Mius - Poland, Pakistan, Azerbaijan are interested.

        So far, 30 Orions - Pacers have been released and 150 - 180 Outposts in reconnaissance and strike versions. We are waiting for the production of Altius Sirius and Okhotnik, the only bad thing is that we don’t create an analogue of the reconnaissance strategic Global Hawk if it is now in service with ours - there would be no problems with intelligence in Ukraine, I would fly at altitudes above 24 kilometers and above several days in a row, reconnaissance of positions and everything the rest day and night over large areas.

    In general, during the CBO, the reputation of Bayraktar TB2 got very wet, despite all the efforts to promote them. As it turned out, they do not dance against the built air defense. And to take into account the ratio of their cost to combat load, then everything is much more sad.
    Still, the future belongs to ultra-small and ultra-cheap reconnaissance and guidance UAVs paired with guided missiles and guided missiles.

      Bayraktars also hit our air defense systems and they managed to destroy them. Bayraktar is just a consumable, it allows you to spend only the equipment itself, but not a specialist.
      How many of our helicopter pilots died because there are no attack drones?
      The reputation of the bayraktars didn’t get wet, where did they get so many orders and people from then? Nonsense. Yes, many of these bayraktars were destroyed, so what? The main resource is a SPECIALIST whose training and life costs like dozens of these bayraktars

        What is built air defense, do you know? Nothing shines against him like rags. And it’s impossible to replace combat helicopters with them. And if there were losses of combat helicopters, it was because of a flagrant violation of tactics, due to the fact that our politicians are much more interested in the image in the eyes of the world community than in the lives of their own servicemen. Swimming, we know.
        And the UAV is not just $6 million. This is also a combat load of 100 kg in total.

          Ukrainians attacked with high-frequency bayraktars in Kursk, of course they shot him down later. But there was an attack.
          UAVs are just replacing helicopters and attack aircraft.

            It was a pinprick, not an attack. And that's because our air defense overslept, as before the strike of two Mi-24s.

            UAVs are just replacing helicopters and attack aircraft.


            This is, sorry, feverish nonsense. How many of these 100 kg rag-rollers will you need to replace one Su-25 with a combat load of 4000 kg?

            2022 - we fly on su25 under 1000 MANPADS.

              You just don’t need to use attack aircraft, everyone has long abandoned its use. What? Don’t want to learn from the mistakes of others? Don’t want to learn from the experience of the USA, Israel, and so on? deep into enemy territory - we don't know better.
              If planes can shoot down, then everything must be done to prevent this from happening - to reduce contact with the enemy and fire missiles at him from a safe distance. And if anything, use UAVs that are not a pity.
              Do you think everyone is stupid and change their battle tactics, because they don’t understand anything? Are our generals the best?

                That's what touches me with the debate on the Internet, that here amateurs with a smart look carry nonsense while teaching professionals. lol
                This is where they abandoned both the attack aircraft itself and the tactics of the BShU?
                Has the United States really abandoned the A-10, but no, they continue to operate, despite the fact that the concept of a flying gun was outdated even at the time of creation.
                Oh yes, new armored attack aircraft are not being built. This is because, due to the growth in the power and range of aviation weapons, there is no need to enter the zone of operation of the MZA, not to mention small arms.
                And for those cases when it is necessary (to enter the zone of possible shelling), there are combat helicopters. It was they who took over part of the work of the attack aircraft.
                When a more powerful strike is required, tactical aviation is used.
                However, the US has recently adopted a new light attack aircraft, the AT-6, but more on that later.
                The most important thing that you do not understand, and that the cornerstone of any BSHU, is massaging the blow. Otherwise, it's a pinprick that doesn't solve anything.
                Hence the requirement for a combat load, which does not happen much. But catastrophically little, as much as you like. From personal experience, I will say that the Mi-24 ammunition was not always enough.
                And simply by increasing the number of strike UAVs, the problem cannot be solved. The same TV2 does not pull more than 100 kg, which means that it cannot lift anything larger than this caliber.
                No, there are heavier UAVs, for example, the American MQ-9 Reaper, which they are so reluctant to supply to Ukraine.
                This pepelats carries as much as 1700 kg, at the level of a combat helicopter. Yes, the trouble is, it cannot be dispersed faster than 400 km / h, and flying to WWI is contraindicated for him.
                And most importantly, such a thing costs $ 30 million, if not more. For comparison, the Yak-130, which surpasses it in all respects, costs half as much as imported.
                And relying on the massive use of strike UAVs, manned aircraft can no longer be pulled. And these low-speed, clumsy devices from the performance characteristics of the thirties are taken out at a time.
                The United States is not in vain a light attack aircraft, the AT-6 was adopted, it is just one of the specializations that has the destruction of UAVs. Cheap and angry.
                We are trying to adapt two types for this, the Yak-130 and, in the future, the Yak-152.

                If planes can shoot down, then everything must be done to prevent this from happening - to reduce contact with the enemy and fire missiles at him from a safe distance. And if anything, use UAVs that are not a pity.


                In order for the planes not to be shot down, it is necessary to fight as it should. Suppress air defense, do not set tasks that are not characteristic of one or another type, and much more.
                I have already spoken about the place of the UAV.
                Still, the future belongs to ultra-small and ultra-cheap reconnaissance and guidance UAVs paired with guided missiles and guided missiles.
                But this is only an addition to aviation, and not a replacement for it.

                Do you think everyone is stupid and change their battle tactics, because they don’t understand anything? Are our generals the best?


                There are enough stupid ones, for example, schoolchildren who imagine themselves to be military experts.
                And with the generals we just have a problem, a lot, to put it mildly, is out of place. For example, the VKS is led by an infantry general. How he got to this position is unknown, but partly the loss of aviation is on his conscience.

    Is that why there is crazy demand for Turkish drones, but not for Russians? On the topic of the day, as they say, at the moment we are ordering a specialized conveyor chain in Turkey, in Russia they refused with a comment - “We can’t do this”, and the Turks immediately gave a positive answer with a specification for verification and a reservation - pickup from Istanbul.
    Have they not betrayed the importance of unmanned direction since the time of Buran, and therefore have fallen behind? It is high time not only to squeeze markets with resources, it would be a desire winked

    Now pen dostans will force their subpen dostans to give their beyraktars to kakels, which ours will reset to zero sooner or later, and the Turks will be loaded with orders for decades to come. But in general, of course, the Turks are great - they have created production, advertised products and are working for the future. And until we start imprisoning "effective managers" for failures and wasted state funds on bunk beds, and even preferably with the confiscation of "over-earned", we will forever talk about "green grapes", UAVs are against the Papuans, we have developed better /more powerful/beautiful etc. etc.
