I don't think we can be sure of this. We don't usually announce demonstrators. When it's showcased to the public, it's either a mockup or a prototype of the actual product. The scaled version that was talked about could be the demonstrator. Maybe as it was said that demonstrator already flew...

750 number would be 3-5 batches in the course of at least 20-30 years. On one hand, we have platforms we need to replace, on the other, we might not need a one on one replacement for them and UGVs might play a bigger role in procurement 2030 onwards.

How the up to $200million deal with the Korean maker fits into that? First production Altays will come with Korean transmission, no?

They should be in a hurry. You can't refuel an F-16 (or MMU for that matter judging from past images) without a boom and we're not making a passenger jet sized drone to carry that boom anytime soon.

Flight characteristics wise, looks like a TB2. Too slow.

Any updates on this? On hiatus or just fell through? It has been 2 years. KC-135s were already starting their mod package in 2020 which is mostly(fully?) completed. But still no info on the replacement.

You are forgetting the best of them, Okhotnik...

Now that we've seen it in real life, anybody want to guess what is what on top of the fuselage? What does the darker shade black rectangle do? In the model photo, it was circular. What do we really know about Anka-3? Yes, it's a flying wing UCAV, specs we have is that it weighs 7 tons(MTOW?)...

These last 24 hours just keep on giving. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

LET'S GOOOO

Seeing how much they pay for Reapers and 20 year old Israeli designs, what they actually need is Aksungur.

And people ask why Baykar is better at PR. For one, Baykar would never allow leaks or allowed leaks to be published. I'd take seeing the first photo tomorrow at March 18 with more than 360p quality over this. First time our most ambitious project touches the tarmac and these are the 2 photos we...

One could say whole frame is temporary until it's not tbh. CDR not yet finalized, right?

no lie i kinda like the distinctive beak. call it the mediterranean eagle!

Nonsense. And Mete Yarar is a clown.

What is this? Been trying to find about for some time now. That part was empty in TAI delivery photos, usually only had the pedestal. Looks like she has a winch as well.

That is a lovely footage and wholly confirms the US version of the events. They tried fuel dumping at least two times and on the last try they had a contact, damaging the propeller. Seems it wasn't downed by the contact but ditched by the operator.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this. A helicopter crashed yesterday evening in Duhok, Northern Iraq, killing seven. As per the photos from the crash site, it was a AS350 Ecureuil and as per the preliminary KRG report, it carried PKK militants. Iraqi Government is the only user of the...

This part is weird to me, as the next question is about an MBT. Oshkosh makes heavy duty military trucks, as well as school busses. Heavy duty industry is always intertwined. Same with Otokar that builds armored vehicles and city busses. Why the worry?

I vividly remember one instance. Year was 2012 and first of our then state of the art PO4 birds were getting delivered. It was the same talk. With a bird this relying on network centric concepts, possibility of a third party interfering with it will always be a reality. Yet, it's a deep strike...
