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

I’m thinking that the increase in LOS range to 300 km is a result of Ukranian contribution.

A country that is importing radios for their military, contributing to the extension of the LOS communication ? I don't see this being plausible...

The point is i don't really trust Ukraine. I have a sense they can anytime embargo the engines once the UCAVs actively used in a conflict and drawn attention of western countries, or feel hesitant to deliver those because of something.
Blacksea Shield company shouldn't only work 1-way for enabling Ukraine to make TB2 but in return should also make Turkey able to make certain engines (Turboprop, Turbofan) without any dependency.
While i am 100% it won't be like that because Ukraine is not willing to, then If possible, development should be parallel to turbofan engine (TF6000) of TEI. At least the SSB R&D fund should be shared to TEI among the same project to make a turbofan to power various UCAVs from different companies.

I trust Ukraine.
They need us more than we need them. Which makes it a stable alliance as far as we're concerned

Does the digital camo pattern on MIUS indicate that it won't be a stealth drone? Or have I misunderstood that the stealth coating has to be grey/black?

You're probably right

Paint is very important to RCS

True we are light years ahead of Ukraine in electronics other than some niche areas like passive radars which we caught up in recent years and we are getting ahead.

They need us for now, they may not need us some years later when west supports them in technical matters.

This is always a risk, but although the EU may try to pressure Ukraine, Ukraine knows that the EU can't or won't stand up to Russia (whom Ukraine is in a low intensity war with), so IMO the Ukraine-Turkey relationship is likely to only get stronger in the next few years. In a few years' time we will have our own engines.

Just wanted to post this actually.

A good reply. To people who wonder why we get excited.

Critical tech we use today comes from defense industry. Even first computer network goal was to create decentralized communication in case when infrastructure is damaged during war. If we were list main pillars, industries for humans. Food, healthcare, pharma, ICT etc. Weapons will be always in the list. Always has been.

Army rations changed how we consume food. Military medicine advancements, health tech R&D. Military radio, telecommunications.

We have been here since 1071... almost a thousand years. And we will always be here.Russia, similiarly, will always be here. Western powers are slowly fading away. In a few decades there will not be a USA.

Ukraine will always need good relations with us.

Agreed. Although we shouldn't see Ukraine as just an engine factory lol.

So is the MIUS basically the first fighter jet drone in history? I haven't really seen any other country coming close or even attempting to make one.

Not even close. MIUS is built around a turbofan engine, more like global hawk. Loyal Wingman is supposed to keep up with fighter jets. That's more of an unmanned fighter. The concept is sound, we'll see how it works.

Boeing uncrewed Loyal Wingman completes the first high-speed taxi test

Boeing test personnel monitored and verified the functionality while the vehicle reached accelerated speeds.

Look at where those air inlets are, it's definitely meant for high-g maneuvering.

MIUS with dorsal air inlet resembles Global Hawk more. We could say that it's a smaller version of that with an internal weapons bay. It's just that our priorities are different. It won't fly as high or as long hours as Global Hawk.

Eagerly waiting for the MIUS.

1. Low RCS 2. Possible Internal Carriage (Hopefully big enough for Som-J) 3. Nozzle doesn't stick out. 4.Possible Carrier-Based

Perfect.

Also who ever made the Anadolu renders fucked up. The ship is sinking.

MİUS will operate at a cruising speed close to the speed of sound.

The next prototypes will be supersonically capable of going above the speed of sound.

It will have close to 1.5 tons of ammunition and useful load capacity.

It will be able to carry Air-Air, Air-Ground smart missiles and cruise missiles.

Will be designed to takeoff from LHD without a catapult launching system, will also be capable of landing on short runways with wire and hook.

Projected First flight expected in 2023
