I was worried after some news claiming that Anka-3's new prototypes will fly at the end of the year but apparently it is still slated for delivery this year.

The official range of sub-harpoon block-II is 120km while Akata's is 250 km. And that isn't even counting the advantages of being fully in control of flight path and terminal maneuvers, your local data link and ability to re-target on the path. I wouldn't call that not bringing much to the...

Hopefully Akata is ready soon because a sub launched missile with these flight characteristics would be our current best deep strike asset. And would curb the ambitions of some of our over-eager neighbours

Apparently it didn't use its seeker at all in this test and used only GPS + INS. So ground clutter shouldn't really affect anything except the flight path

For our companies English one being wrong is the most likely scenario. They are really sloppy with their English content

Very nice to finally see interceptor UAVs but in current form it looks entirely manual and doesn't have any autonomous targeting or even targeting help. Hopefully they add it soon because it would hugely increase hit percentage

Q 10 Tayfun's and 8 SOM very nice news. I wonder what is the production time frame for a package like this? I would hope for a week but a more realistic guess could be a month if not little more

Storm shadow and Som has the same purpose but are not really in the same class. Storm shadow weighs 1300kg whereas som J is merely 530kg. Of course I would want Som to reach those ranges but I don't know how feasible it is with this much of a weight difference

From what I understand not exactly owned by the Baykar the company but Haluk Bayraktar has a sizeable stake in it. Their CEO called themselves "little sister company of Baykar" in a recent interview

Yes the advantages of gimbal is quite obvious but I was more talking about the reason for starting with stationary camera. Especially for Kemankeş-2 when they already have experience flying an extremely similar system

Kemankeş-1 also had a stationary camera that was later upgraded to gimbal if I remember correctly. I wonder what is the reason for it

4 Kemankeş-2's are quite a strike package. You can be sure it won't get shoot down by an FK-2000 with that payload lmao

Kızılelma Teber and LGK-82 firing test. It was conducted by the prototype featuring Toygun so I would assume it did its own laser illumination too. Hopefully IWB tests at least for these type free fall munitions will follow soon

Isn't the range supposed to be 100 km not 60?

Yeah Murad + eren will make Akıncı a very valuable asset for cheap air patrol + kamikaze defence. 30+ hour loiter time plus 4-6 missiles for very low maintenance compared to fighter jets. It is slower but can make up for it with long range radar

- Tcg Anadolu + most likely her task force(basically all of our modern naval assets) to Latvia - AWACs to Poland - air defence radars, f-16 block 50+'s and many other ships and armored units to Somalia Don't we have any national security needs? Okay force projection is good but we are spreading...

Fighter Electronic Warfare System it was originally developed for Özgür modernisation project I think

I agree that iwb test are crucial for Kızılelma to be considered operationally ready. However I wouldn't subject to 2-3 Kızılelma's being delivered(all with Murad, one with Karat and one with Toygun at least) to hvkk test squadron without bring able to carry any weapons at all let alone bring...

Our officials either needs to stop lying or learn what serial production is. They have been saying Tayfun serial production is already ongoing since 2023 and now they announce that "they have started serial production of many new missile systems like tayfun and akata in 2025". So which one is...

It is the same range given when the missile first debuted. 100 nm which equals exactly 185.2 kilometers. They usually round down for brochures but someone probably converted it directly and forgot to round it
