TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

Greeks must be really panicking right now, they don't know how to deal with all these advances. Imagine not one but two different unmanned fighter jets, one is probably going to destroy your entire airforce (obviously exaggerating but you get my point) the other is probably going to destroy all your ground units (TISU as a tactical bomber pls).
And it's not even 2023 yet, imagine all the other things waiting to get revealed.

With given enough quantity, Kızılelma can definitely destroy HAF

 

[Zafer]

I don't see the smoke!
Relax, Greecomen.

I do not agree with you,but our forces are netcentric but greeks suffer to get it,many platforms from different countries its hard to own n network

Maintaining a 2:1 ratio of Kızılelma to enemy fighters would do the job, and yes datalinks etc just multiply the force.

"Currently, part production and assembly is in full swing. It will be a different combat jet-powered aircraft weighing 6+ tons. We are making progress in many different areas, but we are like Usain Bolt in the field of unmanned systems."

I guess it will be something like Avenger. The keyword will be long endurance.

2023 will be a roller coaster ride with so many projects to be unveiled and showcased.

no...

Will the Rq-4 counterpart, the high-altitude long-flight persistence jet isr drone come?

 

[Anmdt]

no...

That thing must be huge, you can't just assemble it in corner of the facility. It should have a dedicated hall for itself and assembly line, with huge hangar doors. @MADDOG, have you seen such a place while strolling around?

Now i am more intrigued about that HALE project once mentioned to be under development by Tubitak - TAI and then disappeared into thin air.

Payload capacity vs Max Take-Off Weight?

Payload capacity vs Max Take-Off Weight?

The value given by Guntay Şimşek came to me as Light Weight. MTOW is more about engine power. The same platform with powerful engines can be taken off with a much higher MTOW value if the strength coefficients of wings are appropriate but weight of platform is determined on table while it is in design phase so 7 tons likely be the platforms' weight.

 

[Zafer]

Obviously the TISU is meant to be powered by the TF6000 turbofan that is in the works.
Single and twin engine varieties come to mind. A tanker possibly and other purposes too.

But in your post, it reads like TISU has 7tons payload capacity or in the opposite case it implies X47B has only 6 tons of MTOW. These are not comparable aircrafts by the info we gained of them so far. 7 tons of payload will not be in our reach till the end of this decade(because of engine constraints), imho.

Is this the UAV that will refuel the KIZILELMA-C in the air?

X47B has a MTOW around 20 tons and its light weight is around 6,3ton. It has an engine providing thrust up to 23000lb. We don't know yet If TISU will be a drone with twin engine but If they are planning to use twin Tf10000 like Baykar KE with Ukrainian engine in initial or next variants, the figures will be similar with X47. If this is not case, 6-7 ton figure will be MTOW as you said.

Wild theory, we got EJ200 or use a civilian engine

 

[Radonsider]

What about 2 of one of these?

This path leads to an aircraft carrier with a displacement of +50K.

• Naval Hurjet (even Naval MMU)
• KE-B/C
• Low-observable flying wing UAV
