For non-Turkish speaking people, Yusuf Akbaba got confirmation of Anka-3 being able to be used from TCG-Anadolu

What the fuck? No way. Or, way? They shouldn't play with my feelings like that, as if they are my high school crush.

If ANKA-3 is to be carrier capable, its propulsion-enhanced variant will certainly have similar operational flexibility to the MQ-25 Stingray. We are seeing steps towards both the restructuring of the air force and the formation of the naval air force.

Y'all need to apologize to me and Radonsider straight away

That is just beautiful man, fuck

What do you expect internal payload is?

I expect lhgk 84 (Turkish way laser guided bomb) and Akbaba anti radiation missile

It doesn't need a huge payload, the F-117 carried a pair of MK84s and was effective at its job of nighttime attacks of enemy HVT, and radars.

Maybe UAV-230 or a bigger version of that?

This is not true f117 can carry in internel bay 5000 ib

Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is an officially retired American single-seat, subsonic, twin-engined, stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was the first operational aircraft to be designed with stealth...

I see what you did there lol

It had 2 hardpoints, and could carry a 2000 lb bomb on each of them therefore "a pair of MK84s" is correct.

You mean at 1600 hours??? lol.

Now that we've seen it in real life, anybody want to guess what is what on top of the fuselage? What does the darker shade black rectangle do? In the model photo, it was circular.

What do we really know about Anka-3? Yes, it's a flying wing UCAV, specs we have is that it weighs 7 tons(MTOW?) and can go mach 0.7, well short of transonic area. Nothing so far on the dimensions I believe. It will be low observable as we can see but how will that be achieved? For one, on the top of the fuselage I don't see any serrated/saw tooth edges. Is this the design or just how the prototype will look?

I'm not sure a SOW like that would be the best choice of weapon for this drone. Cakir seems like it could be a good choice, but in a total war scenario it would in my opinion be better to save standoff weapons for less stealthy platforms and instead use JDAM/LGB for this drone.

If anything recent wars tell us, you can stockpile as much PGB as you think you could need and that would still never be enough.

An article on savunmasanayist gave the dimensions for kamikaze version of Şimşek at about 3 meters, iirc. I think we can take a guess at its dimension, more or less, from that and this photo.

Obvisouly this is the first prototype. Design fine turning and build quality will incrementally improve
