You mean akıncı will search and track and anka 3 will fire AA missile,all the platforms are unmanned its too early for us to do so.I once said about Akıncı, "We will benefit greatly from the meat and feathers of this bird." I said so, and so it happened. Akıncı even became a test plane for radar, what else can you ask for? I expect Akıncı to become the "flying Gökhan launcher" within 1-2 years. Launching Siper HSS missiles from the ground is of course a capability. But firing the Siper HSS missile or Gökhan missile from 8 km above with an initial speed of 750 km is a completely different thing. This application can be considered a revolution in air combat!
Now I say the same for Anka-3, we will benefit a lot from the flesh and feathers of this bird, soo much. In due time, the twin-engine Anka-3 will take over Akıncı's flying "Siper HSS or Gökhen launcher" function. The enemy will not be able to detect the location of the fired Siper missile or Gökhan missile until it is too late. Akıncı will still have this opportunity, because Akıncı is not stealth. Anka-3, on the other hand, will not give the enemy that chance of early detection. Anka-3 will be the "Sniper of air wars".
Think of it like an aerial sniper team. As the team's spotter, Akıncı will search&track the target as a member of the herd of AWACS-UAV. Anka-3, on the other hand, will fire very long-range AA missiles like a sniper wearing ghillie camouflage. Kızılelma, on the other hand, will engage the enemy from relatively closer distances. The entire system will operate autonomously.You mean akıncı will search and track and anka 3 will fire AA missile,all the platforms are unmanned its too early for us to do so.
Akinci would be the weak link to attack since it is slow and not stealthy at all just like all AWACS systems. Therefore it needs active DIRCM to survive incoming multiple AA missiles.Think of it like an aerial sniper team.

And no, it's not too early for us, it's right on time.
That's when operating out of Türkiye, if you can operate out of a ship then you can have longer range.Anka 3 offer a regional Strike Capabillity together with with manned Aircraft, ballistic and cruise Missiles. It's perfekt for Power Projection to Aegean, eastern Mediterran, black Sea, Caucasus, ME Countries which share a Border with Turkey and till to Libya. For Anti - Access / Area Denial on the Horn of Africa / arabian Sea, Atlantic Coast of Morocco and Parts deep inside Central Asia, there is a need for strategic Bombers like the B-2.

An aircraft carrier is useful by guarding your six when you deal with the target in your sights. You can send a fuel tanker along your strike plane to extend range which a version of Anka3 is to play this roll. We do need bombers but only after we have everything else.You have a longer Range when you operate out of a Ship. Carriers for example will be important Targets for any Enemy. They are threaten'd by enemy Submarines, ASBM, Fighters with AShM etc. Bombers have the Advantage they conduct an Airstrike were Several Fighters are needed. In Areas with no Sea Aircraft Carrier are useless as a Tool for Power Projection, like in Central Asia.
It must be AI25TLT engine . Which has a lower thrust (I remember it was around 4000 lbs) and doesn't have an afterburner if we compare it with AI322F.Which engine did the ANKA 3 use?
You mean this?Once I saw a image of multiple drone that I can't find now.
There was a multiple core chassis, avionics, electronics and engine. For instance when you want to produce stealth Bomber drone just put on outer shell.
When you need supersonic fighter drone , there was another shell. Finally there was subsonic attack drone .
Those 3 UAVs share ,Same core, electronics,avionics, engine, etc.
So it could reduce production costs and time and maintenance.

Just changing the outer shell of the ANKA-3, you could get subsonic attack drone or supersonic fighteruav.
Fotoğrafı bulamadım. Adam tek bir ortak kasa yapmış, aynı çekirdek kasadan üç farklı uçak üretiyor. ANKA3 den de böyle bir platform çıkabilir.
Yeah absolutely THX.You mean this?
