good question ''Altıncı nesil konsepti çerçevesinde ANKA-3, başka bir uçaktan kontrol edilen ilk İHA olarak tarihe geçti.'' Within the framework of the sixth generation concept, ANKA-3 made history as the first UAV controlled from another aircraft. A prototype controling another prototype?? if it wasnt from Avionot I would not even share it......hope soon we can learn more about it

During the firing test, target allocation and control were performed by HÜRJET.

Avionot is popular but not a reliable source. They just share whatever they find, a lot of people stopped following recently due to him sharing news he didn't confirm and just tweeted stuff an Oklavalı Jedi uttered

agreed the news is too good to be true ... both of them are at prototype stage ..... but I will keep his tweet as a reminder to myself to use my logic @Sanchez killed my mood with a single simple question ''How'?' :devilish: but still a part of me will be waiting for a confirmation which will never come

His source is TUSAŞ itself. This information was given at the 1st h 21st m of the live stream during Gökbey delivery ceremony

Technically, its not a masterpiece and very possible.

Looks like they did do something. Maybe the operator for the drone was in the second seat and that's what they mean? But I'm very interested in what did they do and how did they do it.

Bad title, pretty okay video.

Yeah I just saw the clickbait, watched the video later.
Must agree that downfall was a very ‘dramatic’ choice of a title but he didn’t attribute the so called Bayraktar hype as a propaganda outlet of Turkish defense industry but rather a natural outcome as an adequate and competent force multiplier at certain conditions at various battles.

I like this guy’s videos ever since he debunked (to a very good and credible degree) the Me109’s fatal design flow of its landing gears.

Comment on the video early, polite and substantive.
I'm not sure if we're capable of that. Just clicked the link and saw many angry, obnoxious comments from Turks. There must be an army of teenage Turks that are seeking validation from foreigners and any non-positive remark is countered with fierce attacks from them. it must be exhausting to leave any comment about a Turkish thing because of the ensuing shit show.

Yeah I just saw a video about Saudi Arabia's 2030 plan and the guy was talking about how the Saudis aren't on track for any of the goals, etc. and the comments were all Saudis just hurling insults at the guy, not one of them countering the arguments or the data. You can learn a lot about a country's human capital and educational standards from social media comments alone.

Oh bro, don’t get me started.
A new social media outlet should be invented just to calm them down and teach them to comprehend a body of text they read and how to listen an argument and capture the point of it.

Ukraine wasn't even the are that TB-2 operated most. Ask Africans about the supposed "downfall of Bayraktar".

African states are also learning that it's not TB2 that's special, but the doctrine it's used as a part of, with highly advanced C2I components and the highly trained light infantry units, supported by artillery, helicopters and most importantly political capital. Just striking targets with TB2s don't achieve much. Gendarme for example, uses them as recon and strike assets, always supported by air insertion with helicopters to eliminate the threats.

Chris has a point in the video, although it's a clickbait bullshit. There's nothing special with TB2 alone, except for its very low cost compared to contemporaries thanks to COTS parts which makes it attritable when needed. It's how you use it that matters.
