MAM hitting moving target.

Sh*t! Drone strikes are unethical.

Sh*t! Drone strikes are unethical.

Yeah because dropping a couple bombs from a 15 ton death machine is very ethnical...

That was my way of saying the first strike was awesome.

"• Bayraktar KIZILELMA’nın uçuş ve manevra testleri tamamlandı. Seri üretim aşaması için çalışmalara başlandı."

KE's flight and maneuver tests were completed in 2023

A SOLOTÜRK version of KIZILELMA doing stunt flying would be great

 

[Kaan Azman]

I kinda doubt it with the A and even B variant because of TWR constraints (B with afterburner at 6.5 tons reaches 0.7). But KIZILELMA-C with two turbofans rated at 44 kN with afterburner has a TWR of around 1.05 when weighing 8.5 tons which is near F-22 with full fuel and internal weapons.

Translation:

In this scenario, ANKA-4 with a twin engine and an ammunition carrying capacity of up to 4 tons is needed because TRG-230 is insufficient against large tonnage ships with its 70kg warhead and 150km+ range, but it is effective in penetration attacks, so TRG-500 is a longer range and more effective warhead.

It is a full-black coloring of a concept design for F/A-XX, not ANKA-4

F/A-XX mean 6th Generation Fighter ? But why with TF-10000 Engines ? It must have more stronger Engines than Kaan!

That photo isn't official mate, just some on the Internet made themselves.

Anka - 4 with canards would make less sense. Its more a fighter plane.

 

[Kaan Azman]

Like I said before, I expect ANKA-4 to share many components with KAAN and the flight performance for the most part. So that KAAN can have an air superiority wingman that can keep up.

Also, I gotta remind about a gossip of TUSAŞ considering F110 for an UAV platform. It is still an unconfirmed report but considering TUSAŞ wants a full-on air superiority UCAV as the next step, I wouldn't rule out F110 and the indigenous engine as the engine for ANKA-4. Pretty much for the reasons I stated above.

Tfx as a drone

Wtffff ?? 61900 feet

Might be a bug, 44kts is too slow.

 

[Zafer]

Specs look like a high altitude solar electric plane.

Has to be like a vertical missile launch that drops back down but were there any NOTAM etc

Could be as none of the UCAVs we have would go up that high, but Yarasa01 code must probably be a police bird. Doubt this is a test article, because of the transponder code, which looks too "operational"

A missile won't have an ADS-B transponder on board. I still think it was a bug, let's see.

Doubt Baykar has an RQ-4 like prototype they hid from everyone while dealing with both KE and TB-3.

Ukrainian TB2 with Raytheon MTS-B. This is probably the TB2 with best ever seeing eye.

"Cooperation Agreement for Joint Research, Development and Production" was signed between BAYKAR and the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.

BAYKAR, which launched the "Baykar Technology Azerbaijan" company last year, is deepening its cooperation. Finally, BAYKAR signed a "Cooperation Agreement for Joint Research, Development and Production" with the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.
