selling to serbia is foolish.

How often do we find serb weapons in the hands of the PKK?

bro he really talked about many interesting things. somebody should type it while watching to mention all.

Innovation please!

It's good to have more makers of things and all but we should see some innovation happening too.

II know it's not Turkish drone but i wanted share to inform you.
Guys between helicopters and plane there is an another aircraft " gyro copter" which can fly fast like plane but requires very short pist for take off and landing. İt's landing almost vertical. Also Their payload more than helis.
So for our LHD , gyrocopter drones should be investigated whether they were useful.
There are a lot of flying examples of drone gyrocopters

HALE-class?

 

[Blank1]

HALE-class?

According to US nomenclature Akinci falls in HALE class but Turkey denominate it as Strategic Ultra MALE class. See it as you like.

 

[Ardabas34]

I would like to ask a question.
Is it true that with Baykar Akinci we are the first country to develop UCAV with air to air combat ability?

There is this {page} I found and people say only US drones have stingers attached to them so far but they too arent properly fit for an air to air combat because of their avionics. They lack AESA radars which are appearently a must for air to air combat.

It seems like Akinci will be the first proper UCAV to have air to air combat ability with its Bozdogan WVRAAM (Within Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile) and Gokdogan BVRAAM (Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile) and national AESA radar.

About General Atomics Avenger(Predator C) (I couldnt quite understand whether it is still under developement):
Now someone in the page talks about Avenger(Predator C) making a test with AESA ''just last year''(his post date: june 2020) but I couldnt find anything about when they implemented it to the drone in any other place.
Also wikipedia page shows no a2a missiles among avengers armament. I digged quite a few places but all it has are air to surface bombs/missiles.

I know AESA radar helps with a lot of things but why didnt they add any air to air missiles? Do they think it is dumb/inefficient?

Well it is not like we will be putting them to down fighter jets, they will be substantial for downing enemy drones/turboprob planes/helicopters.

 

[Ardabas34]

If only someone could give the non-Turkish speaking crowd a summary..

First let me translate the questions, good thing they are shared in the descriptions of the video. I may edit some of their answers time to time, as it is a very long video. Other Turks shall also help me here please.

00:27 - 07:43 Why is it so hard to make plane engine?
He explains why it requires so much experience from a country.

07:44 - 11:38 In which stage are we in TEI-TS1400 engine(our turboshaft engine) that will fly our TS625?
11:39 - 20:16 When will we see it on TS625?
20:17 - 26:05 Will TEI-TS1400 engine turn to a family? Will there be alternate models? Will we see it on TAI Hürkuş?
26:06 - 28:12 Will we see PD-170 that was used on our ANKA drones on drones developed by other countries?
28:13 - 31:24 Can an already existing engine be copied, is it possible from an engineering stance?
31:25 - 32:51 How was TEI TJ90 was designed (TEI's smallest engine)?
32:52 - 36:39 When will we see TEI-PD222 engine that is used in Akinci on air?
36:40 - 37:10 What changes did you do on TEI-PD170 engine for Bayraktar TB3?
37:11 - 39:11 Can TEI-PD170 or PD222 engines be used on manned planes?
39:12 - 45:44 With TEI-TJ300 engine you have joined guided ammunition systems. What kind of targets you have now, will the family grow?
45:46 - 50:38 Does TEI have foreign partners?
50:39 - 52:49 How does General Electrics react to local and national projects of TEI? Who pays the expenses?
52:50 - 01:01:40 Will CAATSA sanctions from US effect TEI?
01:01:41 - 01:04:51 What kind of work will TEI do on the F110 engine that is used on the tests of MMU project?
01:04:52 - 01:09:07 TEI's targets for the next 10 years?

These helicopter style single lift rotor flyers have a better potential than any multicopter design.
