Super Simsek:

• 35kg warhead/payload
• Parachute landing capability
• C-130 recovery being evaluated!
• Will act as target aircraft for Siper B2 tests
• Currently powered by a foreign engine (PBS Velka Bites). Idealab is working on a 600N thrust engine.

Parachute and in midair recovery, thats what all wanted!

So direct competitor to Dynetics' DARPA-backed X-61 Gremlin programme. It will probably be lighter, but will have the flexibility to be carried under the wing of supersonic aircraft also can work as missile mode.

Before forgetting, there is talk of twin-engine configuration for Anka-3. It is expected that 2 more Anka-3s will be completed by the end of the year. (2nd minute in the video)

We are on our way to becoming the country with the widest choice of loyal wingman in the world.

The twin-engine Anka-3 variant was on the roadmap no surprises
Smaller Şimşek should be similar to Kemankeş in weight as they are using the same engine. It might be a little lighter.
IL-600 is in tests/qualification while IL-1600 is in development.

I wonder when they plan to give the Anka-3 a name, will it remain as 3? It looks like an ordinary product, doesn't anyone think of it?

Anka was already a name given to the program. Why would they give it a name again?

I hope they don't put a new name. Our naming will be similar to brand names, I think that's obvious. Such as Anka 1-2-3, Hürkuş 1-2-3, Gökbey 1-2-3, Atak 1-2-3 etc.

If this logic is correct, the name of the 10 Ton class utility helicopter should be "Gökbey-2".

Or Gökbeylerbeyi.

Ok, I am letting myself out.

 

[Oublious]

Why not making ANKA-3 manned bomber if you going to put 2 engine...

I wish we coded Anka-3 as THK-13-NG (Next generation) and also Hurjet coded as THK-16-NG . So at least people again remember making jet, plane , not only belongs to today also our past. For me this planes comes from our ancestors dreams.
Ps: I know , I share THK-13 before please forgive me.

Is there such a UAV as Anka-2?

 

[Aloster]

Is there such a UAV as Anka-2?

Anka-2 = Aksungur
At the beginning named Anka-2 after that they named as Aksungur

 

[Baryshx]

Anka-2 = Aksungur

We know it, but it was not called Anka-2, it was called Aksungur.

 

[Aloster]

We know it, but it was not called Anka-2, it was called Aksungur.

Nope at the beginning they called Anka-2 at least at press after that they named as Aksungur.

Why is Baykar going with Tb2-Tb3, Akıncı and Kızılelma?

Anka-3 is a different platform, it may use the same infrastructure as Anka, but this is a flying wing UAV.

It seems to simplify and trivialize a beautiful, difficult job.

Anka 3 is the development project name, not a product name. Tusas is obviously free to choose Anka-3 as the product name, but their history indicates that they will select another name for the final production-ready drone.

Probably they follow same strategy Türk Hava Kurumu (THK) strategy they also named project plane THK-xxx after that named it. For example THK-16 project plane named after as THK-16 Mehmetçik. May be someone following it as a tradition. Just my speculation. If following UAV Named as Anka-4 , it is not a suprise. My personal criticism we need serious naming strategy . Honestly sometimes I mixed products. I have to check pages. Especially a2a missile part.

The development projects were already called Mius.

When Kızılelma first flew, it was under its own name. It has an impressive example in front of it.

Anyway, as I said, this has been said many times about Tusaş, and still nothing has changed.

Program Müdürü ANKA-3 MİUS'u Anlattı | SavunmaSanayiST

ANKA-3 MİUS (Muharip İnsansız Savaş Uçağı)'u, TUSAŞ İHA Sistemleri Program ve İş Geliştirme Müdürü Fatma Sütcü, anlattı. ANKA-3, ilk uçuşa gün sayıyor.

www.savunmasanayist.com

"Providing information about ANKA-3's internal and external weapon stations, Sütcü said, "We have 7 stations in total on the plane. Under the fuselage we have the main large internal weapon bay. Again, we have two additional stations that we can call the inside of the fuselage integrated into the wings. We have a total of 4 stations as external stations."

So, it'll have 3 internal weapon bays and 4 external ones. I wonder if those external hardpoints can be jettisoned, I really hope they are.

"Finally, Fatma Sütcü gave information about when ANKA-3 will enter the inventory, “You know, in defense industry projects recently we have been trying to put them in the inventory since the first production . After making the first test of this prototype, we plan to enter the inventory and mature in the inventory."

It'd be interesting to see how we might use this prototype. We can't use it to its full potential but it is exciting to think that we are going to have a flying wing bomber drone in our inventory.

Also, as a side note, I love the fact that a young woman is responsible for one of the most important projects in Turkish aviation history. It is a special kind of fuck you to Western propagandists that love painting us as a nation from Dark Ages.
