"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."
"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."
Even then they will portray the Turks as a race from the dark ages; however, you must know that such a decision isnt based on facts but on a massive inferiority complex that lasted for hundreds of decadesAlso, 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.

With the twin-engine TF-10000, the Anka-3 will definitely have a larger internal weapon slot. I think the wing area will grow even more."Radar and air-to-air ammunition will be integrated. As you know, we will also be integrating the radar system that our local company is working on. Afterwards, we will also be able to use air-to-air ammunition."
I think the twin-engine version will have this capability.
Thinking about ANKA-3 with two TF10k, AESA radar and GÖKHAN missile, we definitely need to navalize it and start building a proper AC ASAP.
Imagine such a plane powered by 4 KAAN engines. We can even try to launch small satellites from such a plane.With the twin-engine TF-10000, the Anka-3 will definitely have a larger internal weapon slot. I think the wing area will grow even more.
May I ask what you are going to do with 2 x TF10000 engines with afterburners on a flying wing?With the twin-engine TF-10000, the Anka-3 will definitely have a larger internal weapon slot. I think the wing area will grow even more.

May I ask what you are going to do with 2 x TF10000 engines with afterburners on a flying wing?
I guess you know that no one in the world uses afterburner engines with flying wings? Apart from augmenting take off power (which is silly for a flying wing due to it’s high lift design) an afterburner will light up the plane to make it an easy target.
In order to fly supersonic, the Anka3 will have to have much thinner wing which will adversely affect the rigidity of the airframe.
2 x TF6000 engines would provide ample power to a future Anka-3 with twin engines.
Just investigate and study X45-A , X45-C and X47 flying wings regarding how engines of different thrust levels have been used to obtain better performance from these planes.
Unless we intend to produce a bidirectional flying wing which would be super quiet without sonic boom and low drag on wings, a flying wing of Anka-3’s ilk is not the right way to go for supersonic.

My understanding from the first day is that there will be 2 internally. The underbody will be external, not internal.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.
This is literally what the project manager had said, and what I put in the post:My understanding from the first day is that there will be 2 internally. The underbody will be external, not internal.
That doesn't seem believable, yes it was a TB-2 getting shot down but it has AutoRTB of it loses signal, so seems like a cover-up for their IFF or comn failure between two branchesLooks like Ukraine had to shot one of their own TB-2's above Kyiv after losing control in a training exercise.

If configured for DCT, could it be RTB above city center ?That doesn't seem believable, yes it was a TB-2 getting shot down but it has AutoRTB of it loses signal, so seems like a cover-up for their IFF or comn failure between two branches
