Like I said before, I expect ANKA-4 to share many components with KAAN and the flight performance for the most part. So that KAAN can have an air superiority wingman that can keep up. Also, I gotta remind about a gossip of TUSAŞ considering F110 for an UAV platform. It is still an unconfirmed...

The new configuration was spotted in an exercise without weapons on its backside, nothing is certain though

It is a full-black coloring of a concept design for F/A-XX, not ANKA-4

Time to revive the dying thread with some good news about ULAQ https://x.com/turdefcom/status/1764943987549323266?s=20

I still find it weird when land forces isn't making a large-scale order for kamikaze UAVs. Especially when their effectiveness is proven and we have many manufacturers at this point.

If I remember right there aren't any coaxial design stuff but Pavo Group and ASELSAN have folding tubular vertically flying protoytpes. ASELSAN VİHA my beloved of course.

Aesthetic, small crew size, takes advantage of unmanned platforms and indigenous weapons.

I kinda doubt it with the A and even B variant because of TWR constraints (B with afterburner at 6.5 tons reaches 0.7). But KIZILELMA-C with two turbofans rated at 44 kN with afterburner has a TWR of around 1.05 when weighing 8.5 tons which is near F-22 with full fuel and internal weapons.

I've been cooking some radical stuff lately

Since MİLDEN will come somewhat late, we should consider short-range SLBM capability with TAYFUN. Either a larger MİDLAS or a smaller TAYFUN missile.

https://www.turdef.com/article/akinci-ucav-strikes-with-aselflir-500-electro-optic MAM-T actually managed to hit a moving small target like that too, and I don't think it was going slowly. The bigger warhead's difference is felt here too.

Together with F-16, you can see the size difference

KAAN flew for 40 minutes

NATF feels unconventional to go with as a variable sweep wing, I am going by the theory that they will make changes on the design like LM did on F35 for F35C. Wider wings, arresting hook, stronger landing gear, etc...

WIP Naval KAAN

T629 I would doubt but big yes for T929. You have a greater space in terms of payload for powerful radars and light cruise missiles (ÇAKIR, KUZGUN TJ...)

Indeed and I think I actually broke it down somewhere after IDEF23. When I talked to SEFİNE about the launchers and showed the official my estimations on Blender, they revealed that this launcher is a placeholder and the finalised launcher will have two-axis movement.

It has windows in still unfinished but further made state that I didn't screenshoot
