Why Indonesia didn't buy Aksungur instead of Anka and tb2. Turkish navy is using Aksungur.It has very long endurance and it's a specialized uav for naval operations.(Considering that indonesia is an island country)

3 Anka S + 3 ground control station was 80 million for Tunus.But since Aksungur is not exported, I could not find any information about its price.But it will be much more expensive then Anka.

The budget is 300mil USD (200mil for air force + 100 mil for navy). It will be split to buy TB-2 and Anka B. Let's just assume because the Anka-B uses SAR radar it will be used by the navy and the air force got TB-2.

80 mil for 3 UAV + 3 Ground Control Station, 100 mil probably got us 4 of those. A decent number for the navy. If we buy Aksungur we probably could afford 2 or less. If we assume the availability rate is 50% then we have at least 2 Anka ready to fly each time while the others are under maintenance. Not sure about Aksungur.

The Aksungur long endurance is handicapped by the fact that we have no BLOS capability with military satellite. Drones the size of Anka or CH-4 would be best for us now. Especially that the navy area of responsibility is so huge (we have 3 fleets with 3 assigned zones) relying on a limited number of Aksungur would not be wise as Aksungur could not be anywhere.

Now it make sense.I didn't know that Indonesia have no BLOS capabilty with military satellite.

As long as we don't have boom air refueler, we pretty much depend on them.

The IDAF will receive a total of five Super Hercules tactical airlifters

Lockheed Martin Delivers First C-130J-30 Super Hercules To The Indonesian Air Force

MARIETTA, Ga., Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) delivered the first of five C-130J-30 Super Hercules tactical airlifters to the Indonesian Air Force (IDAF) during a ceremony here today, commemorating a new era in Hercules operations for this longtime C-130 operator.

The IDAF's new C-130J-30s offer increased cargo capacity, speed, range, power, performance and lower operating costs over its legacy C-130s to support the IDAF's wide range of mission requirements for decades to come. These new C-130J-30s expand the IDAF's ability to partner on missions and training opportunities with allies and regional forces that also operate Super Hercules.

"Indonesian Air Force crews have long trusted the C-130 to support the most challenging of missions facing Indonesia and other nations in the Pacific," said Rod McLean, vice president and general manager, Air Mobility & Maritime Missions programs at Lockheed Martin. "This new era of Super Hercules operations supports Indonesia in achieving mission success with a highly tailored airlift fleet that ensures IDAF crews can support any task — anywhere, anytime — with more power, strength and capability for decades to come."
