"Hayk's Arrow" Armenian Strategic CenterMembershipCanada suspended relevant permits on 5 October 2020 and cancelled the suspended permits on 12 April 2021. Its final review found credible evidence of Canadian sensors on TB2s used in Nagorno-Karabakh, Libya and Syria. These decisions concern specified permits and end-use assurances; they are not a count of aircraft supplied or destroyed.[216][217][218]
On 29 January 2024 Canada ended presumptive denial for military exports to Türkiye. Applications remain subject to case-by-case risk assessment and additional end-use assurances. The notice establishes a licensing policy; it does not itself prove resumed WESCAM deliveries or a particular contract value.[219]
In October 2020 BRP told Radio Canada International that it had suspended engine deliveries to countries with unclear usage while investigating Rotax engines in military UAVs. This is a reported corporate response concerning civilian-origin engines, distinct from Canadian export-permit decisions. It does not establish that every TB2 subsequently changed engines.[220]
Baykar’s November 2021 announcement identifies AI-450 engines on AKINCI and agreements with Ivchenko-Progress for AI-322F supply and AI-25TLT integration for MİUS, later named KIZILELMA. A Motor Sich MS500 agreement concerned an alternative under development. The contracts do not establish identical engines or completed deliveries across all aircraft.[221]
TEI’s V2025/2 brochure dates PD170 first flights on ANKA to 27 December 2018, AKSUNGUR to 4 October 2021 and TB3 to 27 October 2023. These are platform-specific engine milestones. They do not support treating PD170 as a verified fleet-wide TB2 replacement for Rotax.[222]
TEI dates the first TF6000 ground run to February 2024. A ground-running engine and a proposed future application are distinct from an aircraft integration flight or an accepted operational powerplant. No verified 2027 delivery commitment is treated here as completed integration.[223]
Baykar reported a TB2 firing test on 5 November 2020 using ASELSAN CATS designation and an inert MAM-L. ASELSAN’s June 2024 newsletter describes ASELFLIR-500 tests on TB2 and AKINCI. These announcements document Turkish sensor integration on named aircraft, not the sensor configuration of every export customer’s fleet.[224][225]
ASELSAN’s November 2025 newsletter dates AKINCI’s first integrated MURAD flight to February 2025 and KIZILELMA’s to October 2025. The month-level dates are retained. Radar flights establish an integration stage; they do not by themselves establish operational acceptance of every aircraft or all advertised radar modes.[226]
Kale identifies KTJ-1750 with ÇAKIR and KTJ-3200 variants with SOM and ATMACA. Baykar lists ÇAKIR among AKINCI’s integrated weapons. This is a missile supply-chain link; the missile’s engine is separate from the UAV’s own powerplant.[227][232]
