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

    What is the point of using a low observable high value flying wing ucav if you can infiltrate that deep with ground troops or even attack helicopters. This thing in its final form will be able to visit Morea and back. But our tech is simply not there yet.

    Nope. LOS antenna. Anka-3 is biding its time doing useless chores in these tests while necessary capabilities in Toygun and Karat are being built. A flying wing aircraft striking a target lased by another non stealthy aircraft is basically useless. This is not how we're going to use Anka-3 at...

    ACV is for the marines, not related. And on that vein, there goes another potential customer for ZAHA. I hope we get to build more than 100 by the time production ends at this speed. What a waste of resources.

    Oh come on. This is even less true than saying Syrian refugees are not discriminated against in Turkey.

    There's a reason why 3rd generation university educated German Turks with high paying jobs are leaving their home countries and returning back to Turkey. I have 3 cousins that were born in Europe, 2 settled in Antalya last year. They are highly educated girls, both speaking 2 languages on top of...

    By the way, this is the first time Trump and Erdoğan talked since Trump assumed the office for a second time. First time in 2 months. Good, and bad.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    This is nothing new and is the Turkish position for years, but still. F-35 might be problematic for a country that would only operate one type, like say Denmark, but not for us. For us, there's only the positives, in a world where HvKK operates F-16 Özgürs, Vipers, Eurofighters, Kaans and...

    On what? Agreed, it probably lowers the amount of USD that enters the system, but allows us to keep our radar, ECM, EW equipment to ourselves, which we should NOT share.

    I think it's very possible that we'll see an order of Akıncı and TB3 for Italy soon with some specific Leonardo equipment coupled with more regular subsystems from Turkish companies. "Italianizing" Baykar products or creating new solutions for KE and Akıncı will surely come much later.

    Spain is eyeing a new 6x6 program as a "stopgap" measure for the problematic 8x8 VCR Dragon while also possibly lowering the total 1000 number for Dragons. Turkish firms will possibly take part in the tender process. Indra and Otokar had signed a cooperation deal last week, and Indra also...

    Also probable, different JV companies. Again to reiterate, there’s no DSCA analogue here, so we may not know the full figure or the full details pf the agreements any time soon.

    We have no idea on the specifics as well. Of training, spares, munitions make-up, integration of Turkish munitions etc. 5bn figure comes up at 125mil per jet. Too cheap, and is probably just the flyaway cost of the jets, not including any of the above.

    5bn figure is not sourced, nothing to know for now. 8bn is also “at least 5bn”. ıt is good however that gears are finally turning with solid advances. This has been in the works since late 2021.

    Turkey already had this capability for at least 2 decades, we are a sub-Harpoon user as well. US, Korea, Egypt, UK, Greece are the ones I remember from my head, they all have UGM-84s.
