It has probably passed the acceptance testing phase by the Turkish air force.
Do we have any idea how many will be delivered in the first batch? 2 were flying already but there were also 4 that was in the production line already so they soule should be complete or near-complete by now

I'm not sure; there are a lot of unknowns right now. It is depend of many conditions.

Bayraktar TB3 was spotted with its Electronic Warfare Pods during the Sea Wolf Exercise


"During the exercise, it was determined that the Bayraktar TB3 was using the ANTIDOT 2-U/EA 200 electronic attack pod and the ANTIDOT 2-U/ES 100 electronic support pod. These systems had previously been integrated into the AKINCI TİHA and Bayraktar TB2 platforms.

ANTIDOT 2-U/EA 200 stands out as an electronic warfare system developed to provide higher output power compared to the ANTIDOT 2-U/EA 1XX mini-pod family. The system is designed for use in electronic jamming and suppression missions.

On the other hand, ANTIDOT 2-U/ES 100 functions as a comprehensive electronic support pod enabling the detection of enemy radar direction and position information. Working in conjunction with ANTIDOT 2-U/EA 200, the system can contribute to target detection and support electronic warfare operations."

These pods could be one of the best equipment for TB3, it could detect enemy radars and just let the other assets attack with stand off missiles.

Only thing that is left TB3 with a Fullmar 500 radar, it will not be as the American E2 Hawkeye but we can have several on the ship. We and America will have that capabilities :D .

On a TB3?
You know it has a weight of 500kg?

Even the smaller Fulmar would be great, considering that TB3 would be taking off from an LHD with a smaller payload capacity. If it can carry Fulmar and Aselsan EW and ES pods, it is a brilliant improvement on the capabilities of any LHD. Although as I said before, I would prefer it to use 2 electronic support pod to more precisely triangulate the location of an enemy radar, if its software is capable of using the millisecond time differential between two pods to improve accuracy.

What about the power needed?
For the power there is always a solution, a mini diesel generator in worst case.

But only Baykar can tell if the TB3 is suitable for Fulmar 500, it has to fit between the wheels, it needs a certain ground clearance etc. etc. There are more factors than power and weight alone.

Yes and tb3 cant provide the power for that only a helicopter
It has been designed for drones mate, Aksungur and Akinci both can use it.

Fulmar 200 is the one for TB3, not 500. Not only it is far too heavy for TB3, it is also too big as it was made it with Aksungur or Akıncı in mind. Even in the photos in Aselsan brochures have the same split.
