I have been wondering if it is 12 ANKA systems or 12 ANKA aircrafts only.

For example, each MQ-1 Predator system (similar in class to ANKA) cost around 30 millions per system (four aircraft, sensors and the ground control station)

I think it's 4 systems with 3 Ankas each.

There was similar confusion about the deal with Tunisia.
It was widely reported by most news agencies that they bought 3 ANKA UCAVs for $80 millions.

However, one important detail was left out. They also bought 3 ground control system. (Which quite weird because you don't buy ground control system per each aircraft)
Thus, I deduced they actually bought 3 ANKA systems. (9 aircrafts)
Otherwise, each ANKA UCAV costing $25 millions (in both deals, Tunisian and Indonesian) sounds unrealistic to me. Specially considering US MQ-1 predator UCAV cost only $7 millions each.



Anyway, this is just my opinion only.
And I am probbaly wrong. There could be lot more we don't know anout.

I have an idea for Anka-3.

If we add a two-dimensional movement feature to the engine nozzle of Anka-3, as in the F-22, I think we can more easy control this aircraft at low speeds.

While it moves up and down in F-22, but Anka-3's nozzle will move left and right.

I think Tunisia posted a picture after receiving the final ANKA UAV. There were 3 UAVs in the picture

It could be that it was the photo of final system they recieved. (3 aircrafts)
Not all the systems together.

Yes, but Indonesia did directly mention 4 systems and a total of 12 Ankas. So at least 4 GCS as well.

A 2 year delivery time, damn that's long.

TAI seriously need to increase production capacity. They have a huge pipeline entering mass production as we speak and they need to adapt as an organization. They cannot continue as an research/prototype organization.

They recently increased the production rate of Aksungur iirc, but you're right they really need more production capability, especially with all of the incoming projects and not just drones.

They can increase production capacity easily, even triple it. Problem is, we lack on employee.
