Why ANKA ?

After the export agreement, 52 pilots and maintenance personnel from Tunisia will be given the necessary training at TAI facilities in Ankara

Why ANKA ?

Tunisia initially wanted to purchase the TB2 but according to Tunisian MOD there was an intervention from the Turkish authority and tried to convince them to change to anka so MOD tried to cancel the whole deal because anka was more expensive but they didn't after they allocated the rest of the funds.

If the engine does not have an option, Tunusia will be the first overseas user of PD170

It’s puzzling because we’ve recently discovered that Turkish Vestel has exported 40 karayel uav to KSA. And has almost same spec as as tb2 according to their website what more it has stanag certification. So why not go for Karayel? It should cost around same as tb2

If they are buying the ANKA S with the new wing configuration and the PD170 engine, then the useful load capacity of this craft will be 350 kg. İnstead of 4 MAM-L it will be able to carry 6 MAM-L.

To add to above the operational altitude, if needed will be as high as 40000 ft and there will be an increase of 4-6 hours extra flight time. This new version can operate at 30000ft, for 24 hours. it will also have the Aselsan CATS.

As It was told by Mr Ibrahim Sünnetçi, The drone with new wing configuration was called as Anka+ and If they apply this configuration to S variant, I think It will be named as Anka-S+ because the new configuration offers huge improvements compared to standard Anka variant.

- New flapless wing
- Improved (720lt) fuel capacity (530lt B/S variant)
- Improved (350kg) carriage capacity (200kg)
- Increased number (4) wing pylon (old 2)

CATS is 61 kg, not 120.

 

[Yasar_TR]

CATS is 61 kg, not 120.

You are correct. Aselsan’s own site clearly says 61kg. I stand corrected!
still
2 x60 kg launchers = 120kg
Cats = 61 kg
6x mam l = 132 kg
total = 313 kg
