Moral of the story: Don't develop a product in Turkey that meets only the minimum requirements. Instead, try to analyze what the Turkish Military is going to be doing in the southeast, Iraq, Syria, etc and anticipate the upcoming needs of the battlefield and how those tender requirements may be revised in 2-3 years. Your product should meet the needs of not just today, but also near future! Also, build your product in a modular way so that any improvements in requirements can be accounted for by simply swapping some existing parts with new components, with minimal change to the rest of the airframe.
That said, both TAI and Baykar seem to have taken note of this tendency and are able to quickly adapt to it, which is great. But other aspiring Turkish companies (Vestel Savunma and others) should learn for it too.
