I did not see Targeting pod like CATS, can it be true that Toygun being used?

Um, what do you think that thing protruding from its undercarriage is? Also, I don't think we have seen any indication that Toygun is actually ready, have we?

Edit: I stand corrected, it's apparently LOS antenna.

LOS antenna.

Anka-3 is biding its time doing useless chores in these tests while necessary capabilities in Toygun and Karat are being built. A flying wing aircraft striking a target lased by another non stealthy aircraft is basically useless. This is not how we're going to use Anka-3 at all.

Serial production 85th AKINCI
Much, much less than I anticipated. I think Army have less than 20 in service.

You can't just reach a destination from an airplane; but with ground troops or with Atak helicopters.

for your information: the ATAK is no longer audible from 3 kilometers from the target. Bayraktar and AKINCI can also laser the target outside the AD.

What is the point of using a low observable high value flying wing ucav if you can infiltrate that deep with ground troops or even attack helicopters.

This thing in its final form will be able to visit Morea and back. But our tech is simply not there yet.

AKINCI as well as tb2 designate well within radar range of any medium range ad only with ew they have a chance as we saw in Libya and Syria.
Anka3 is designed to engage high value targets while being in enemy controlled airspace.
To do that its stealth can’t be compromised that’s why toygun is important it’s basically an aselflir with stealth.

Do you want to carry an LGK-equipped Mk bomb with ground troops or load it with ATAK?

Laser marking is usually done with ÖKK and 2 or 3 soldiers.

observed, detected and targeted are very different things.

Why can't they manage to sink the engine into the airframe, if only to reduce the RCS? It looks totally unclean when the engine protrudes.
The same can be seen on the Kizilelma.

Anka will get an Engine cover for that similar to x-47

Somalia is set to receive Türkiye’s cutting-edge Bayraktar Akıncı combat drones on Tuesday, March 18, to bolster the Somali National Army (SNA) in its fight against Alshabab in the Middle Shabelle region.

The Turkish game-changer UAV, Akıncı drones, has just arrived in Mogadishu. Inshallah, this will mark the beginning of the end for terrorists in #Somalia. We thank our brothers and sisters from #Türkiye for their unwavering support.

Baykar and TAI will deliver x amount of Kızılelma and Anka III this year to TurAF. Airforce will test and experience the UCAVs and provide feedback.

Can someone explain to me please, as to how it is possible to deliver without Toygar, Karat? Murad is also missing from Kızılelma. This is the case for Hürjet too.
