Nearly there"By the way, it took a while for ANKA-III, whose photo we shared, to come to your attention due to the difficulties in its production with its delta wing geometry, which does not have a vertical surface, but I want you to know that this appearance contains technological secrets that will give it an edge over all its competitors.
"Secret" for now..."

Nearly there
On a serious note, getting this drone flying will be an incredible feather on TAI's cap. There isn't even a handful of planes/drones like this right now, unless I'm forgetting some.
Exactly! If Anka-3 goes all the way into production it'll be an incredible achievement.American X-47 was experimental, France Neuron the same.
Do you mind if I use this in my Turkish UAS compilation's update?View attachment 55075
(Brolar, I deleted the introduction to my short story, so no need for positive ratings.)
You are forgetting the best of them, Okhotnik...
This is not the real scale, I guess. This is a scale model developed mainly for testing purposes. The final 1:1 scale model has not yet been built. When I first announced this UCAV on this forum, I said it would be the size of a sports plane. Therefore, I think there is no point in making scale comparisons for now.that thing will never be operational, to big and heavy drone. It have 20 meter wingspan...

This was the one I saw (and proportions seem OK to me). Maybe we can expect a bigger version after TEI progresses with their engine projectsThis is not the real scale, I guess.

I doubt it, unless we can get our hands on an engine stronger than the one they used on X-47B it'll be smaller than that. This already seems like it has 12-14 meters of wingspan, I think that's the most we're getting. But, of course this is just my speculation.This is not the real scale, I guess.

Anka-3
Or theYou are forgetting the best of them, Okhotnik...
TAI has more experience baykar has zero to no experience on A2A plus their worksmanship is questionable TAI makes better stuff.With all due respect, TAI simply got more important projects at hand. Let Baykar handle the A2A stealth drone.
By the way, I think Türkiye bought the rights for this particular airplane. right?
with that engine and questinoable counter measure systems I doubt that Its power output is nothing near F35Baykar believes KE will be superior to F35 in the future. Maybe TAI can help Baykar with some expertise. We need to use TAIs ressources as efficiently as possible to make sure that Anka 3, Hurjet and TF-X becomes successes.
