Minister of National Defense Yasar Güler announced that additional Airbus A400Ms can be supplied to the Turkish Air Force.
Yaşar Güler: "We will acquire even more A400M aircraft."
The A400M fleet, consisting of 10 aircraft in the Turkish Air Force fleet, has completed more than 15,000 flight hours.
Türkiye also became a partner in the Airbus A400M Atlas program in 2003. A400M is an OCCAR (Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation) project. Türkiye is not a member of OCCAR, but is a project partner country.
Although it was planned to purchase 26 aircraft for the Turkish Air Force in 2003, the final procurement amount was determined as 10 aircraft and within this framework, a contract worth 1.496 billion euros was signed.

Apparently, it just made its second flight.
I don't get it. If you can only jam it at 500M, you're far better off putting a high powered laser and literally melting those drones out of the sky (I'm assuming this is supposed to be in a military context. In a civilian context the microwave one would be better.)Aselsan's microwave weapon with HPM antenna has finally shown itself in testing

Here's the test footage:
500m is not the maximum range tho
So what is its maximum range? I doubt at longer ranges it would be more effective than a laser.
We don't know about the range, however you are missing out that with laser you can target only 1 at a time and they take time to take effect
