The is a mistake in the second paragraph. It is stated :"Engine exports were halted when Bombardier, owner of Rotax, became aware of the military use of their Rotax 912 recreational aircraft engine.[7]".

However, the owner of Rotax is not Bombardier, but Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP). Although they share a similar name, the two companies are not the same entity since 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Recreational_Products https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/turkey-armenia-azerbaijan-drones-bombardier-1.5775350 Ljmoukhtar (talk) 15:17, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Bayraktar drones saw their first use in a major military conflict in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, when they were successfully used to destroy Russian tanks and armor." but what about the Nagorno-Karabakh War

As per title, the article claims that the first major use of the drones were in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. What about their extensive use during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war? It was a large war and it was the first time the use of the Bayaktar as an effective weapon was seen. Should it be changed or rewritten?LordLoko (talk) 14:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely biased information regarding usage in Libyan war

It seems like the section was written by a hardcore pro-LNA/UAE propagandist using a whole lot of hearsay and false information to paint the picture the drones failed miserably in Libya. Nowhere near as many were shot down as claimed, and conveniently there is no information regarding the ridiculously high number of successful usages of the drone against the LNA and Wagner Mercenaries in Libya. The drone almost singlehandedly changed the course of the war in favour of the Libyan government against Haftar/Russia/UAE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.207.215.106 (talk) 14:31, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request: Use "Ukraine" instead of "the Ukraine" to refer to the country

This edit request to Baykar Bayraktar TB2 has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the "Ukraine and 2022 Russian invasion" section, change the two occurrences of "the Ukraine's" to "Ukraine's" to match official guidance.

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine, last sentence of the first paragraph. Istvanfarmosi (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Claims of 96 Russian tanks destroyed by TB2

Any adition of extraordinary information should be backed by extraordinary sources. A article by media from one of the participants claiming 96 Russians tanks destroyed without a single video of image is simply unreliable. Per WP:PARTISAN and WP:Extraordinary Mr.User200 (talk) 20:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article also has claim of 47 downed TB2's with only around 15 photo sources, fix that first then you can complain about other claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.196.94.19 (talk) 21:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You expect an article to provide you with video of combat footage? That is unrealistic. Show me articles that have such videos for few exceptions? Also, maybe you should open a twitter account. Much footage of entire decimated columns have been shown to be taken out by this particular drone. Also, I used a valid Ukrainian news source.Mechanized battalion (talk) 13:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)Mechanized battalion[reply]

Range listed is wrong. Whoever listed a range of 150km with fuel capacity of 300l needs to find another hobby

The drone can stay 27h in the air, with a travel speed of 70kt (130km/h). This means that the range is around 3500km, not 150km. The figure of 150km probably refers to the communications range, and even this doesn't seem to be correct, as the producer's page (https://www.baykartech.com/en/uav/bayraktar-tb2/) states that the communication range is <300km.

The claim that 47 TB2s were downed by LNA has no real evidence. It's nothing but a hearsay, and if you actually follow the sources it leads to a fake US official named Jeff Jaworski. It was a PR stunt for Pantsir S1 by Kremlin shills, i'm very surprised to encounter those dubious articles as sources here after all this time. 159.146.75.173 (talk) 17:10, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr.User200:I can find notting about this "Jeff Jaworski", can you look on this? Shadow4dark (talk) 17:24, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. – robertsky (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is questioning whether the source already in the article, a Vietnamese language article citing a US journalist named Jeff Jaworski, is a reliable source. I can find no mention of this journalist anywhere else - I suggest the IP is right. What reliable sources supports the "47 kills" claim? Is this Vietnamese source reliable? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 17:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
