Astore with its AESA radar and the new Akeron and Enforcer could be a worthy opponent to TB3. I think Baykar may go on adding a conformal AESA radar to TB3 in the future.

Anka 3 currently 2 prototype being tested, no date when they will start with munition test but they are planning to first in 2024.
Nice to see an update on this program. Probably one of the top 3 most important projects. With deep strike capabilities no one can f*ck with Turkey without serious consequences.

Well, we wouldn't just strike, for example, a facility all willy nilly, or at least I would hope so. The first target would be an enemy's air defence capabilities. And even if we did, its not like we would drop dump bombs from it. Iirc, Anka-3 can carry 2 SOM-J in its IWB, which has a range of 275 kms, assuming we use those at their proper range, there are only a handful of air defence systems that would be capable of engaging Anka-3 directly.I wonder how deep strike capable of stealth aircrafts ,aka anka 3,will be safe after rhe strike happened and on the way of return,if its not for nukes.They like submarines once detected its almost dead.They can not make supersonic flight but they should be fast to the limits as much as possible and they need protection from combat aircrafts manned or unmanned on their mid course of return,they are not cheap to sacrifice.Hava SOJ can bring some help to them,and they also should have self protection suits.
What about Kizilwlma internal bays ??Imagine, in 3-4 years, the Kizilelma equipped with twin TF-10,000 or twin Al-322F engines will be able to reach Mach 1.5 speed and participate in air superiority combat exercises with the F-16 ILR. The Kizilelma is truly revolutionary, and it's exciting to imagine what it can achieve

I read so much about kizilelma but no infro about its internal weapons , range ??
Anka-3 can not carry SOM-J in it's IWB's. It can carry MK-83 bombs at most in it's current configuration. SOM-J can only be carried externally.Well, we wouldn't just strike, for example, a facility all willy nilly, or at least I would hope so.

Then the length of the inner bay is less than 4 meters because it should be able carry 2 munitions up to 650 kgs.Anka-3 can not carry SOM-J in it's IWB's. It can carry MK-83 bombs at most in it's current configuration. SOM-J can only be carried externally.

Can someone draw it manned?Imagine, in 3-4 years, the Kizilelma equipped with twin TF-10,000 or twin Al-322F engines will be able to reach Mach 1.5 speed and participate in air superiority combat exercises with the F-16 ILR.

You are only considering what Turkey will have 12-15 years from now; you are not accounting for what Turkey's competitors will have. The twin-engine Anka-3 won't be cutting-edge technology as it theoretically is today. Even the Indians will have a flying wing attack UCAV by the time the twin-engine Anka-3 is operational. Even Greeks can have access to a similar platform by then.yet.
Wait for the twin-engine version.
''No other like it yet exists.'' are the key words and very true I guess.. KIZILELMA is a testament to our unique approach Which stems from our urgent needs ''No other like it yet exists’’ may be becauseAs this was expected for some time, it's not as newsworthy maybe, but it shouldn't be forgotten, this is the first ever high performance UCAV. No other like it yet exists.
