Well TB3 is slow and Anadolu isn't really an AC so don't think it would make sense to design it with lots of serial sorties doing bombardment. If you calculate the max number or weight of payload delivered per hour with repeated sorties, it's never gonna get close to real fighters from AC. Would make more sense to use TB3 for targeting of long range missiles and maybe kamikaze drones

I have been thinking about a concept that goes like this;
Modern warships have this problem where when you pack them full of missiles, they become precious targets and they have to go back to a dock. These two problems can be overcome, I believe, with extensive use of USVs. Of course, this is not really an option in deep ocean, but neither Mediterranean nor the Red Sea qualifies as oceans, do they.
So UAVs out of Anadolu do ISR and EW, while slightly larger USVs act as mobile VLS carriers and nothing else. Some other USVs act like land based anti air batteries, in a layered fashion. While others do ASW. Maybe even dedicated USVs for EW, too. There may even be USVs that can be used for cheap shore bombardment en masse, striking closer land targets acquired by UAVs. In essence, this allows command & control of a large and dispersed force from one command center. You acquire, classify and nuetralize targets. This is what TSK did in operation Spring Shield, adapted to naval warfare.
In the future, a VTOL capable long endurance UAV with similar specs to TB3 will allow ships without runways to fulfill this role in the future, too. You disperse command and control to 3-5 frigates in that way therefore mitigating risk.
This is more or less useless against a competent air force. Then you need 5th gen aircraft taking off from carriers. But when the enemy is an "eastern style" force, like Haftar's militia, Hezbollah or SAA, this might actually work.

ASELSAN has probably broken a record in UAV equipment field with the most diverse arsenal of UAV EW systems. There are also unlisted ones which wouldn't fit in the infographic like AKINCI SOJ's other variant.

Does it have afterburner?
Can anyone highlight the main differences from this pictures with the previous prototype?
AKINCI-C with UAV-230, TV Seeker UAV-122, LGK-83, and BOZOK

Is the New KIZILELMA Prototype a Supersonic one? | TURDEF
KIZILELMA’s new prototype was spotted during Saudi officials’ visit to Baykar. Some changes hint that this prototype might be designed to fly supersonic.
turdef.com
Baykar has made a large-scale aerodynamic refinement (and a bonus of less RCS thanks to concealed actuators). I think the lift from fuselage will see an improve with the new form as well. Every inch of lift will be needed for STOBAR operation.

The maker of that ye-ye ass laser BTR in Greece is in shambles rn.
Jokes aside, in the Star Trek universe, such ablative coatings aren't invented until 2371. This is H U G E

Great!
I think there are some important questions to consider:
- How strong is this material as an airframe?
- How durable in certain weather conditions, altitudes, and air pressure?
- How mouldable and shapable is it compared to carbon fibre?
- How long does it take to produce this material and at what rate?
- How durable to storage conditions is it (just because it withstands extreme heat, doesn't mean it won't have weak points e.g. rot, fatigue, instability etc.)

Oh, mon Dieu! LOL
Jokes aside, IMO reporting this invention is a mistake. We are giving unnecessary ideas to others.

Lol, do you think nobody thought of something like that before? Or did they revealed the formula?

I belive such studies are vital at univeristy level whether it is applicable in real life or not and worth every lira we have spent ... we are an emotional nation therefore over enthusiasm in expressions can be unavoidable sometimes dont know.
....most importatnly such studies creates a science culture .... and steping stones for future projects and creates pool of potantial scientists for our future projects...

Yes, not every single research has useful output at the end of the day, but that's not the point, you gotta build a body of research, and you never know when something may end up being useful, if this isn't applicable for UAV, it may find an entirely other industrial use
Sales of baykars products to our army with unknown prices works like a state funds,but ended much better than the Altay case.
