According to some sources, ANKA-3 has already started its taxi trials.

Anka III's operational radius is estimated to be 1852 km. This means that Anka III, which takes off from İzmir Çiğli, can travel to and from Germany. It also means that Anka III, which takes off from Diyarbakır, can be deployed to Libya without refueling.

One day we will compare X47-B with TISU. Until then, keep the X47-B datasheet in your archive.

It's time to recall the legend.
Finally we have the basics to benchmark.

God I hope that is true. I can't wait to see it fly, imo, it'll be a bigger achievement to have a delta wing drone fly than anything drone related we've achieved so far, and we've done a lot.

April is just around the corner. As in March, April will be a very exciting month.

April 23rd would be more meaningful. If they stop fighting with the Republic and Atatürk.

April is just around the corner. As in March, April will be a very exciting month.

April 23rd would be more meaningful. If they stop fighting with the Republic and Atatürk.

April 01, 1923: Second Inenü Victory
April 3, 1900: Anniversary of Gazi Osman Pasha's passed away
April 05, 1026: Conquest of Bursa
April 13, 1521: The conquest of Belgrade by Turkish armies and the period of the great Balkan expansion
April 18 1897: Turkish-Grek (thirty days) war
April 23, 1920: Opening of the Turkish Grand National Assembly
April 24, 1920: Atatürk was elected as the first president of the parliament

...

These are the first ones that come to mind, but technically we can find one important event from Turkish history for each calendar day. No page is blank, but we will write this historic event in gold letters under one of them. I think the best date for April is April 24th. But I'm not sure we can wait that long.

New reality for foreign sponsored terrorists around the world. TB2 should be name peacemaker or liberator.

The world is no longer so comfortable for countries that support terrorists and separatists, especially Europe and America. What I like most about these drones is that they are a good answer to those who turn countries into bloodbaths.

Baykar should develop foldable wings for TB2 as well. They already have the know-how from TB3

Benefits:
1. Reduce airbase footprint - You can part them closer to each other.
2. Increased mobility - they can be carried to new locations (or export destinations) by truck
3. Increased operationality - they can be transported with aircraft without having to be dismantled first.

What do you guys think?

Probably they are already fitted with easily assembled wings.

Folding wings are not actually a function that reduces the logistical footprint, but rather complicates maintenance. The moving mechanics of the wing-roots will also have an impact on the structurals of the aircraft. These aircraft are already transported with the wings disassembled during transportation. The assembly of the wings to the fuselage can easily be done by two technicians at level 1 maintenance in actual operative bases.

One of the main elements of the TB-2's design philosophy was to create a cost-effective platform with a simplified maintenance line, which I think is the second most important reason behind the success of exports.

It is debatable how tactical class the TB-3 is now, but if we consider the TB series as Baykar's tactical class family, I think the missing point is not between the TB-2 and TB-3, but one below the TB-2. What I mean is the production of a jr. Tb-2 with TB-2 capabilities that can be launched with a catapult and captured with a fixed device.

I mean:
- Jr.TB-2 that can can have pneumatic, hydraulic or bungee-assisted launch, and recovery.
- TB-2 ' the tactical beast'
- TB-2S aka Afro-Braktar
- TB-3 carrier based navalized TB

TB2 can be disassembled easily on the field with simple tools no need for foldable wings.

SSB President İsmail Demir: (ANKA-3 Unmanned Fighter Aircraft)

You'll see it in the air very soon.

They fly with HÜRJET.

Let's say 40 days.

looks as if the engine nozzle is standing on a carriage. Bet you can't see the nozzle from below say unlike the Okhotnik prototype. Interesting design choice.

Looks like Northrop Grumman designs, hopefully it reduces heat signature significantly

 

[Sanchez]

Not with that nozzle, but it should be in the right direction.

I was thinking exactly that too. Maybe we ll see it completely covered

Quality is slightly better I think

One thing that would make ANKA-III a more strategic asset would be aerial refuelling, that would bring the project to the next stage and on a level with US developed current core UCAV technologies.
