This is not the case.Localindustry is capable enough to produce MALE UCAVs.I am sure military is buying Turkish drones due to their reputation and their performance in war.If military will continue using local UAVs during anti terrorism and border surveillance ops,local Industry can improve their products further with the help of feedback from military.
Turkish drones are successful because their military used them extensively,gave feedback back to its manufacturers,that helped them to improve their products.So now see where they stand today in UAV field.
So its Turkish military that is behind the success of their domestic industry
