well it has a cost whether they make profit or not

is it a private company?

Maybe downed by the US forces there. Now, to jam the US systems would take it to another level. It's an opportunity cost....

Somewhere I read BOM is less than 2m$ per sample. Can't recall the site now....

"With a wing-span of 12 metres, the Bayraktar TB2 is classified as an ‘unmanned combat aerial vehicle’ and was developed by the Baykar company of Erdogan’s son-in-law, Selcuk Bayraktar. They cost around $5 million apiece, including accompanying ground equipment."

Downed with a 358 Missile allegedly. I'm sure Turks won't forget.

Either way, its expected attrition not really a significant factor if the overall mission is successful.

Baykar mentioned work ongoing on a hard kill counter measure self defense suite we may see eventually on these drones down the road to minimize attrition.

In the meantime we will likely see them operate from standoff range or enter with an escort aircraft.

Drones, especially drones like the TB2 were literally designed for this sort of loss.

Makes sense. The amount of nations that have bought it, and the sheer numbers out there, I'd imagine costs have plummeted.

It probably was 5 mil, and probably dropped to 1-2 mil

5 million is retail price, the 1-2 mill Im quoting is how much it costs Baykar to make it, So if they sell at cost, i.e. make no money, thats how much they can create it for, according to Seljuk.

Fair enough, though i still do think the cost has plummeted.
