Here is a analysis of Unmanned fighter jets from Ex fighter jet pilot and engineer at US military industry. He works on Unmanned fighter jets. This video is great inside into US military industrial complex.

Unreal!

They're testing short landing sequences as well, see the brakes in action.

Now the chinese have a much better access to reverse engineer the TB-2

There is no miracle design to reverse engineer. What remains is software, ammunition and war strategy/plan/concept.

But they couldnt copy the value of brand they are late.

don't know how credible the account is, so take it with a grain of salt.

"An Official:

- ANKA 3 -

-Cannot exceed the speed of sound. The new version of this, a twin-engine aircraft will exceed the speed of sound.

-We made the 2nd and 3rd and are currently producing them."

Speed isn't that important. B2 can't pass 0.8 mach either, so I hope they optimize the twin engine variant for maximum payload.

I mean, it is official that it cannot go supersonic, it's official top speed is 0.7 mach or something like that on TAI's website and they said before they were planning to make a bigger version (or could make) so second part is also not surprising.

 

[Sanchez]

Designing a flying wing for lower RCS and lower drag coefficient and then redesigning it to go supersonic is like building a truck and putting a jet engine on the back, it looks cool, but it's very much just dumb and doesn't make any sense apart from clout.

 

[Radko]

Maybe it is not Anka-3 but a different design that is V/LO

New version of Anka family is Anka-4 just saying

Lmao I hope this is a troll, you think China needs to reverse engineer TB-2? can't be serious

Why not...even though the TB2 isn't necessarily the most technologically advanced UAV out there, it has seen better success both in terms of exports and operational capabilities compared to the chinese counterparts

 

[BaburKhan]

Is there a Programm for a high Altitude ISR UAV like the Triton ?

It will be a usefull Assest in the Mediterranean sea as well indian Ocean, it can also provide real Time Target Tracking with ASELSAN SAR Pod.

MQ-4C Triton BAMS UAS

MQ-4C Triton is a new broad area maritime surveillance (BAMS) unmanned aircraft system (UAS) developed by Northrop Grumman for the US Navy.

Thats because China is not really concerned about exports, they have more than enough money for their own defense industry, Turkey however needs these exports to finance future developments

As I previously mentioned here, Anka 3 is a flying wing. If you try to go supersonic you need to heavily compromise it's structural integrity by making the wings very thin. From engineering aspect it is just not feasible.
A supersonic Anka 4 is either a very different plane with vertical stabilisers or is another KE type fighter to complement Anka 3.

Anka 2 and Anka 3 are two very different concepts. So nomenclature shouldn't be taken as something that follows previous model.

If Google was satisfied with the revenue from "search" alone, it wouldn't have grown this big to have a $1.9T market cap. Countries or businesses will always try to diversify their income sources and revenue streams. In spite of being cash rich, the chinese weren't able to develop an engine and still rely on the Russians. While they might already have a know-how of most of TB2's tech, they'll leave no stone unturned to get a better understanding of what TAI got right and how does TB2 have better operational success

and the chinese exporting weapons platforms isn't necessarily about the money but soft power projection and bilateral ties
