The debt owed by Turkey and the Muslim world to this Bayraktar genius is indescribable.

You are right but I've always felt that TAI is really underappreciated.

TAIs products are definitely more sophisticated and advanced. However, the TB2 is low cost and yet incredibly deadly, which is a powerful combination.

this is claimed by pro iranian site which in turn cited russian source
We all know that hisar A is 100% ready only an order for mass production is left
Who knows maybe limited number of hisar A units are indeed secretly used in Libya for combat experiment

This is the M.East we're talking about. People upload a video on Twitter while being in a live conflict. Anything is trackable in here...

Assault on Al-Watiya airbase has been initiated!

What a terrible day for Haftar and his backers.

I remember praising TB2 and trashing anka so much I pissed of a lot hardcore anka fanboys during the afrin mission. Now I feel justified in my praise both during idlib and now in Libya.

Well mostly on twitter the image of TB2 is shared by both sides(pro or anti turkish account) plus TB2 was used extensively in all operations except the idlib where ANKA-S dominated the skies
Recently ANKA-S started serving in Libya too
People will start appreciating this drone very soon as well
Abu ANKA already made itself a name with poor pantsir crap

The town of Zelten has been captured (Zelten was the last remaining town on the coastal line)

I remember that lot of people in September and October last year criticized Anka about whether it’s capable for strike missions or not I was sharing back then some anti-pkk missions by Anka fortunately just less than 5 months later Abu Abka made a great show in idlib clearing anyone who had a doubt earlier

True, but it took them a long time to get there. TB2 was ready in half the time.

This is exaggerated. The helicopters are to slow moving to be considered as worthy targets. Even drones move faster than helicopters. Shooting down helicopters is not a big deal. Even old stinger missiles of 1990s could do that as seen in kargil war. Secondly, calling drones as having air superiority is absurd. Drones are useless against countries who even have basic aircrafts like trainer aircrafts.

It's because Bayraktar is a simple(but cheap and effective as hell) tactical UAV. Anka is far more complex MALE UAV but after gaining experience from the Anka, TAI finished the design of Aksungur in just 1 year.

they(HAFTAR) have aircrafts and trainers too

Your own Mi-17 wasn't considered an "unworthy target" on Feb 27 2019, when your own air defence decided to hammer it.

With Akinci, Turkey will have an AESA equipped drone with AAM. Then we'll see how basic trainers will render them useless.
