How many Cirits were fired on terrorists if ever before Baykar dropped bombs on terrorists.

Are we talking about numbers or which UAV was armed firstly?

Which UAV made a difference by effectively killing enemies is what matters. Experimental firings without operationsal achievements is useles. TB2 has been the sharp sword of the Turkish military by killing enemies. Cirit is not even being used on UAVs. MAM-L and MAM-C made history.

Supply chains are critical...

"Due to supply problems, we had to make many parts of ANKA-3 in the workshop. We also had problems with these parts that we made ourselves. There was an asymmetry issue with the brakes, which we solved. If we fly it in June, we will fly it within 17 months after the start of the project."

This was NEVER the issue. They claimed, Baykar TB2 was the first Turkish armed UAV. Is that right or is that wrong?
Btw, I would not bet, that Cirit was never used on a battleground.

You were not bet what ? You bet Cirit was used or was not? Anyway.

Who is anyone to say Baykar was not first when Baykar with 3500 personnel say they are.

 

[Nutuk]

Was ANKA the first armed drone? Hmmm could be I can not recall. I only remember that somewhere in 2014 TB-2 armed drones were shown.

Anyway does not matter, they are both our drones. Proud of them both!

I won't be sharing more on this very topic as my post was mercilessly deleted by Defencehub.

That Cirit was never used in a combat.
I believe in numbers, not what people are saying. If Anka has carried and fired a bomb/missile in 2011, and TB2 did. same two years later. TB-2 can never be the first. A simple arithmetic.

I can recall very well. Even the incredible shout of a Cirit with amazing maneuverability, where they switched from one target to another just in less than a second.

Anka was first with Cirit but because how heavy Cirit was and Anka's payload limit being under 100 kg there were no missile lightweigth enough to be used on Anka.Since putting only 1 cirit on one wing of Anka was not a good idea(you know balance thing) and Cirit was also couldn't be used in guided free fall manner(being a rocket can be fired only towards direct line) Anka with Cirit did see much combat.During thing period TB-2 developed but TB-2 carried same payload limitation problem in fact TB-2's original payload was 70-80 kg something even lower than Ankas.Finally Roketsan came out with MAM family missiles , as lightweigth laser guided missiles they were just perfect for payload limitation problem.After that MAM family used for both Anka and TB-2.

So first weaponized UAV was Anka with Cirit. @Zafer

Anna’s payload was under 100kg???

How is it compare to lancet especially with regard to range,payload and duration.

How is it compare to lancet especially with regard to range,payload and duration.

Similar but different.
Deli has a 3.1 kg explosive payload with a MTOW of 13kg and 85km range. It stays in the air for 75minutes while cruising at 80km/h and has a top speed of 180km/h. It can operate day and night against sea or land surface targets. It is capable of target search and classification with artificial intelligence. It can operate fully autonomously and fly in swarms when necessary. It has an operational altitude of 150-500m and can fly at up to 3500m altitudes.

Lancet has a maximum range of 40km and has an explosive payload of 3kg with a MTOW of 12kg. It dives in supposedly at a speed of 300km/hr to its target. It has electro optic control system for target acquisition. The drone can fly at a speed from 80 to 110 km/h with a maximum endurance of 40 minutes. It features autonomous flight operations made possible through onboard artificial intelligence or pre-programming.

They should send some delis to ukraine to get battle experience.
