It could be a signal that Ukraine is more willing to lose some of these, maybe because Turkey has quietly decided to help provide more, or possibly Ukraine is feeling pressure to show more results to the west.  Either way, I hope they cause the Russians nightmares...

Nothing quiet about it. Ukraine took delivery of 50 TB2s that were on order previously during the month of July. The owner of the factory that makes them is on record that he wants Ukraine to win and will continue delivering as many as possible. Baring political winds changing, Ukraine has a pretty good supply of TB2s assured. At some point it may be possible for Ukraine to build such a drone under license, but right now is probably not a good time to do tech transfer.

I missed the July deliveries, I remember them getting a bunch in March, and I know the owner of Baykar is extremely pro Ukrainian. Do you have a link on the recent deliveries?  I know of course they got some via crowdfunding, but 50 is no joke.  I wonder how man Baykar can produce, especially given many other countries are now looking to buy them.

I cannot find the link for the July deliveries. This link https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/russi...y-received is for drones delivered by 28 June. Ukraine made a big order in April. As noted in the linked article, Ukraine supposedly has 100% of the current factory production. I guess everybody else will have to wait. I am virtually certain I read that there was such a delivery during July, but I can't find the link yet. I will keep looking.

Well, I am closer.

96 exported on 18 August. I expect the 22 to Poland actually ended up in Ukraine, though I don't have a source for that.
