Totally agreed, outsourcing should be considered if we are stuck with quality obsession in homeland

ROKETSAN’s KMC Weapon System Spotted on MARLIN USV https://turdef.com/article/roketsan-s-kmc-weapon-system-spotted-on-marlin-usv

It is actually based on my drawing of ANKA-4 which is based on a roadmap image that TUSAŞ publisbed

I'd say better for the Coast Guard, and they totally need to improve on marketing

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
