TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

It’s normal alright to first try it under the wings with time it will get better it will take years until Kizilelma is combat ready same with anka

Years is very open ended. 2 to 9 years qualify the statement you’ve made.

If they allocate the right resources, Anka3 will definitely be ready in under 3 years, if not quicker. The only parameter that will hold it back is the TF6000.

KE should follow Anka3 once the TF10000 is ready.

So in reality the ball is in TEI’s court. The quicker they provide the engines the quicker these planes can be operational.

Although these are the first trials to see if the planes can perform as envisaged by the designers, and these firings are governed by the Circular Error Probable laws; Tolun hitting the bulls eye in it’s first Anka3 IWB firing is very heartening. Well done to all Tusas engineers!

Once ammunition test is started it will probably go through all the outside ammo and continue with IWB ammo without a break. This also depends on whether the ammo is ready off course. I am guessing we will see completion of tests with available ammo within 3 months.

RSF shoots down Sudan’s third Akinci drone

In the ongoing civil war that has ravaged Sudan since April 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have achieved another milestone in their efforts to contest the Sudanese Armed Forces’ (SAF) d…

If you sell these drones to countries that don’t have a modern airforce and they try to utilise them like modern attack fighters, this is what you get. Even some rebels now have alr defence missiles. Also countries like China can easily supply the AD missiles to these rebels as they would love to see the name of Bayraktar tarnished.

Third Akinci brought down in that area now. We shouldn’t sell these to any “Tom, Dick and Harry”. We should be choosier in supplying these drones. Also there should be specific guidelines about the use of these with regards to where and how.

Two more points. Reputation and advertising.

People that buy military hardware don't use twitter much. Anyone that looks at it sees what this thing is and isn't.

We will probably see what TB3 is made of before too long as they are quick in deploying it.

I cant say what kind of social media military employee use, or if any of that. We can expect that this kind of news will be not escape by the responsible people.

Italian Air Force and Army chiefs and navy vice chief visited Baykar today, along with a delegation from Leonardo and deputy PM.

LBA is going to hit big.

"Funds of 2.4 billion of €, for the Air Force's new UCAVs program, with €242 million already this year. All the pieces are falling into place, with LBA System ready. Given the amount financed, i think it's the largest allocation founds in European Union on this regard."
