The Kızılelma and the Anka-4 are very different platforms. It is understood that Kızılelma will focus on air-to-air missions with its canards.
Which exactly what is Anka-4 is designed/ used to be designed for(since they mention air-air defence, probably?), look at the above table that i sent, you probably did confuse Anka 3 with Anka 4.

What I don't understand is why do we need Anka-4 when we have Kızılelma? Do we have a lot of money to throw away?
I think it's because Baykar is a private company and TAI is state-owned. Kizılelma is more of an independent product and more internationally oriented. Meanwhile, Anka is made to meet the requirements of the Air Force. Furthermore, Anka-4 will most likely be stealthier and will have a higher quality of manufacturing, so don't mind it 😁.

Because TAI and Baykar do compete with each other, and TAI will (rightfully) not give away that space and the potential loyal wingman project away without a fight.

If every KAAN gets 1-2 wingman, that would be at least 100-200 pieces and probably 3-4bln € worth of orders.

Edit: Sorry for derailing. Back on topic please.

NGAD is aiming for 3 to 4 wingmen

Actually, I think we are clearly within this topic. And if we are going to talk about the image above, "Anka-4" will be a high-performance interceptor drone that will accompany Kaan.

If this is really what is planned by TUSAŞ, then I ask why there is a need for "Anka-4" (or whatever its name will be) when there is Kızılelma.
Anka-4 is a national/state company project,Kizilelma is a private company project.what is there not to understand?
