The first missile is fired by the platform with longest missile range and radar detection range for a particular target.
Speed of the platform are of minor importance.
Anyway, Akıncı is not a dedicated air superiority platform so nobody will use it to shot down fighters but rather slow...
There will be jet powered drones as well.
However, a cheap drone with 24h endurance does not need to intercept anything since it will already be above the area of interest. Within 10 minutes, TB2 like drones would cover a radius of 40km. This is bigger than most cities.
Consider this...
On the contrary, a few drones with 4 AA missiles will have a very big impacts on protecting cities against medium size suicide drones such as Shahed or even Predators. It is in reality the best way to protect against other drones.
50% wouöd work in certain markets such as Scandinavia but 90% of Turkish population don't have the cash to buy EV and infrastructure to charge at home.
Decades ago, it was planned to be produced in 4 batches with 250 each with a posibility to extend. However, that was before all our drones so the new number might be lower.
So yes, 250 is just the first batch/version. Others will follow if we can make the domestic engine to work.
My comment was not on their quality. But rather, in addition to production you also have to add a lot of other costs. For high volume production you typically add 3x of production cost. For low volume production, you add a lot more.
Has been doing it for a few centuries now so I'm surprised that people think we are allies. We are nato members for one thing and one thing only, keep us against Russia since they happened to be stronger than us at this point in time. This also suits us since Russians are not allies either...
Turkey should send 10000 heavily mechenized troops to Karabag for a military drill around Susa and Lacin next week. And for good measure, send 100 TB2 and a few Akinci to fly over as a fu message to USA.
It is not much of IQ level but rather that they literally have no other choice than Russia or Turkey for economic structure of the country. They can become vessel state of Russia or Turkey but both options have heavy political and cultural prizes.
They can keep the Russan master and stay poor...
It is a strategic choice of TSK and the government to have multiple sources for everything from weapons to even nuclear power plants. If one fails/delays the development or is embargoed then the other can continue. this actually happened to our plans with nuclear power plants. 3 were planned...
And what that got to do with Turkey?
Also, i believe that you are wrong on your assumption. USA most certainly have high degree of autonomous drone control together with real-time control of their drones via Starlink.
Them being not open about this is understandable since it would kill their...
Being technologically supperior to your enemy is the best outcome one can wish for.
However, personally i dont think Anka 4 will be superior to 5th gen aircrafts but Anka 5 or later will definitely be a strong opponent to any manned fighter. So, your prediction seem to be off with 5-10 years...
Seem to be too expensive solution for their mountanous geography. TB2 or even Akinci with short and medium range AA would be sufficient for taking down other drones which are rarely armed. This seem to be more versatile and covers larger area.
However, I'm not sure Turkey would sell weapons to...
Akinci carries it only on the central pylon.
Avenger is said to be able to carry mk84 as well but it is not in the same class and have not shown this capability in public to my knowledge
