There were Turkish UN troops in 1993 during food aid program as protection at the port of Mogadishu

If it was exposed we would already hunt for the AD systems. We don't know. We also do not know whether our drones were shot down (except one in Syria that was downed by the US F16) or crashed due to internal failure (is possible too) What we do know is that we lost 4 drones within 6 months (2...

Manpads maybe not, what about medium range AD? Do we know what the US has handed the YPG? We lost 4 drones since June this year, 2 of them in the Kandil area

And what exactly is wrong with aviation safety? TAI was present at the Teknofest, just did not bring the Hurjet that had her planned test procedures. Do you have any idea how much it costs to break of test procedures, cancel activities of the personnel involved etc. etc. And for what? To show...

Has nothing to do with confidence, TAI is conducting test flights and did not interupt the tests for Teknofest. 16th or 17th testflight was conducted during Teknofest was going on.

What is the empty weight?

As far as I have understood in twin-engine configuration one of the engine turbine work clockwise and the other engine turbine counter clockwise to neutralize the eddy vortexes created by the engines. Why? Don't ask me, someone with turbojet engine knowledge may know. Twin engines are most...

Theoretically it should be a slightly smaller. RCS value is also strongly dependent on the distance cos deflection angle vs distance plays her part

Yes and no. The larger an object the larger the RCS but the special shape and paint is reducing the RCS, it's about not to reflect back the backscatter to the enemy radar but let the backscatter signal deflect to other directions so that it is not shown on the radar. Take the US B-2 bomber...

In a sense I think like you, but ex general Beyazit Karakas explained why Turkiye want's 40 new F16's. It is because of conformal fuel tanks Turkiye has currently 29 F16 with conformal fuel tank and want to add another 40 for long range missions. Yes we have air refueling planes but in some...

Ah OK, indeed that must be what he meant. Thanks for clearing.

??? If F16 has no air refueling probe than what is Turkiye doing with 7 air refueling tankers? People should really stop spreading false knowledge.

BS calculation I've set up custom made horn radars for RCS measurements with Keysight VNA analyzers. Does anyone even know what kind of processing power you need to make the signal analysis and this guy is just calculating it? He's just making an estimate, sucking his big thumb

Was ANKA the first armed drone? Hmmm could be I can not recall. I only remember that somewhere in 2014 TB-2 armed drones were shown. Anyway does not matter, they are both our drones. Proud of them both!

I don't understand the people talking crap about Pakistan, have you been living under a rock? Turkiye is not exactly surrounded by friends last time I checked!

Smaller versions of ANKA-3 will be something like the RQ-170 Sentinel???

Compared to the size of the two men, it looks like also CENK has a diameter of 600mm. Tayfun reached 600km, I estimate that CENK is probably ~800km not much more since diameter of the missile has not increased

I wish, I have 3 olive fields in Manisa (merkez) but Salihli is 60km away. Please God (Allahim) I'll be a good boy, make me rich 😁

Don't worry, we have Alpagu and Alpagut

I would go with PT-6 is high altitude and more power needed situation (make a version of ANKA-2 like ANKTA-2 TP), for long endurance PD-170 excels again (surveillance model)
