What progress has Pakistan made in the UAV field? From last, I remember Pakistan was developing tactical size UAVs

Yep they have a few:

Air Weapons Complex (AWC) = Shahpar II (TB2-sized)
Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) = MALE UAV (Anka-sized)
NESCOM = Burraq (basically CH-3)

AWC and PAC are working on original designs of their own, but NESCOM seems to be open license manufacturing overseas designs. I guess they're moving on from the Burraq and replacing it with the Anka.

Will Pakistan produce all of the Anka from scratch? Or will it locally produce some parts only?

I think pakistan want to locally design and produce drones ... But as we know its very challenging to produce subsystems ,radars,e/os,ammunition,communication systems ,engines, in addition to design and software support.. So they will need to find a supplier for them ..there is two candidates ..china and turkey .. so even if they didnt purchase anka or tb2 ... There could be a large area for mutual cooperation

I dont understand,whats he saying?


TAI signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the field of UAV with Pakistan's National Engineering and Science Commission within the scope of IDEF '21 Fair. Pakistan has been working on an equivalent of ANKA SIHA for a while. The know-how of TUSAS may be reflected in this project as well.

I dont understand,the Pakistanis were boosting about their UAV programs,what happened to them?
This is really funny,Burraq was the best bla bla and now they are buying the Anka from Turkey.

There is a big difference between tactical and MALE class drones. Pakistan has enough tactical drones that have filled their needs for that specific role and capabilities, but its evident they need something more sophisticated and more capable. Many countries have made tactical class drones, that isn't particularly hard. Anka will complement their vast inventory of drones, the same way our Anka's, Akinci's and Aksungurs complement our vast fleet of Bayraktars. Burraq and others will be workhorses, whilst Anka will provide the best capabilities and features that are desired by Pakistan. It makes perfect sense because Pakistan's PAC is already producing and providing parts for the Anka, so it makes sense to lean into Turkish drones within this framework.

UAV systems are not very simple vehicles, contrary to what is known. There are UAV projects in many countries of the world, yes these vehicles can fly in practice, but this flight does not mean that they can do what Anka and TB2 did in Syria, Iraq,Azerbaijan or Libya..Indigenous solutions and thousands of hours of feedbacks are the details that make these birds perfect. Pakistan is well aware of what it has signed with Turkey.
