Baykar and Safran signed a MoU for cooperation on avionics and electronics.

Interesting that they left out the engines as Baykar aims to develop 20000lbs engine themselves.

So you believe they pulled it off?

It is odd but MSB Ar&Ge builds on top of maintenance - factories, positioned within technical division (like shipyards, factories). Hence why they got hands over plentiful of spare parts and technicians far better than TEI/TAI could recruit. They have depot - level* maintenance capability over engines they seemingly claim to be "developed".

* even better, they have factory level maintenance capability on those.

It is not too hard for them to assemble an engine through the spares produced by TEI, or by the OEM, kept in depot and unused - left to be scrapped and they recycled them through a "what-if", costing us plenty in reputation. All in all, they haven't developed those, they have just assembled remnants claiming to be an engine, likely lacking an original FADEC. Possibly made an engine, made up specs, brought it to show to steal the scene knowing that nobody would ever care to demand them to integrate those and get them flying.

That ICBM is however a whole different story and likely they attempt to make a big fuss.

Remember that they have brought a new torpedo to IDEF, also a kamikaze USV that turned out to be nothing, but purely mock-ups. They have made same claims with torpedo "designed in house, manufactured by the personnel and going through testing". Nothing came out of those, no testing, no prototypes.

It is unbelievable there is development work outside the oversight of SSB as they are the body that plans and budgets development work and finances them. No wonder even Eray Güçlüer couldn't comment on MSB Arge's work and was like shocked.

SAHA EXPO 2026: TUSAŞ Shows ANKA-III UCAV’s Loadouts | TURDEF

TUSAŞ interactively displayed air-to-surface and air-to-air loadout options for the ANKA-III stealth UCAV alongside mission profiles, providing a deeper view.

turdef.com

ANKA-III has some interesting options like, MURAD 100-A, KARAT, TOYGUN, LAÇİN-82, and UAV-230

Also, we are getting 8x TOLUN internally, think of the possibilities with the new variants

I love the possibilities here, but, I think they made a mistake there. Either the second combination is using 2x Sadak-2T (or 1x Sadak-4T) or it also has 8 Toluns. Because using 2xSadak-4T while only carrying 4 Tolun would add hundreds of kgs of dead weight for no reason at all.

Send 2 Tolun EW first, then send 6 Tolun F to blast/shred any radar in the area. I wonder if UAV-230 can be paired with Şimşek, that would be a great combo as well.

That typo is way worse in the original with 8x SÜPER ŞİMŞEK, I improvised

Fucking hell. Our quality control for these expos are really shite.

Mate, you should check the thread before posting.

why is that

 

[boredaf]

why is that

Because the link was shared literally 3 posts above yours and we talked about it.

 

[Pokemonte13]

My mistake

 

[Pokemonte13]

i think its about weight 8 tolun plus Rack weigh more that 1400kg plus 2 Supersimsek more than 400kg extra. So the total weight would exceed 1800kg. But can it carry HKG 83 inside?

Anka-3 possible loadouts. Innermost ones are IWBs.

Yeah, we all should check the posts but I'm happy that this part of the expo got attention.

There was more to it at that panel and I am scrolling around my gallery to see what else comes interesting

Still have hope for mk83 and change for kaan iwb.

According to this infographic, 3 Anka-3s, along with 6 Süper Şimşek loyal wingman drones that they would release in the air before entering the congested zone, could form a mission squadron of 9 aircraft in total. Behind these 6 Super Şimşeks, which could perform kamikaze, decoy, or radar jamming/EW operations, up to 24 Tolun(SDB) munitions stored in 3 Anka-3's internal stations could disable a medium-sized military compound and its protective AD layer over 400 miles away.

up to 24 Tolun(SDB) munitions stored in 3 Anka-3's internal stations

Not 24, 12 if they also have 2x Şimşek.

I Wonder how many Kızılelma's will br in the first delivery? It was first announced as first quarter of 2026 then moved to second half and we have seen 2 Serial production Kızılelma's flying plus 3-4 in production so 5 could be a reasonable number I guess
