It's the other way around even though Tusas is more professional about it. One works with their own resources, while the other sucked the state's resources for years.

Sucked state resources? What kind of statement of that?

wtf

Probably just for PR video or to show it there during the ceremony. Would be absolutely hilarious if they let it take off from Anadolu though.

Oh for sure. They probably took the second prototype there.

Back when Baykar's office was as big as a toilet, they were awarded tenders. Despite one of the sons, Selcuk (who studied in america), being a great engineer, they didn't come naturally.

Really? In return, it produces products and exports them. Aselsan and Roketsan also receive support from the state. For some reason, Tusaş seems to be highlighted and targeted in this regard. Baykar says the same thing.

TB3 and Kızılelma were placed on the deck of Anadolu.

Here, Kızılelma and TB3 can be seen.

Baykar doesn't like Tusaş. Their statements show that. They are on good terms with Roketsan and Aselsan, that's what happens when there is competition.

which explanations demonstrate this? Aselsan's cameras were mostly exported through which platform? And Roketsan's ammunition was mostly exported through which platform?

 

[MADDOG]

If Baykar actually managed to land Kizilelma on Anadolu, then he should be given an official honourable title by the president regardless of what it is

Well cranes exist

 

[Oublious]

OMG OMG!
If this actually is true man
Iam fervently waiting
@MADDOG Pls tell me that it is true..... maybe Baykar is foreshadowing a GREAT MILESTONE in the Turkish defense industry probably on par with the TFX

Translation:
President Erdogan: Tomorrow, hopefully, our UAVs and SİHAs will land on the delivery ceremony of our aircraft carrier (TCG ANATOLIA) in Tuzla.

If I could find a bookie I'd put money on that not happening. A lot of money.

Could TB3 and Kızılelma have moved there?

Me too
But who knows.... it wont hurt to be mlre optimistic since we already got more than what we wanted by seeing the Hurjet, Kizilelma, TFX, and Anka 3 in the span of 3 short months

He did say so. But it could be interpreted in a couple of ways. I highly doubt they'll fly the TB3 this early on. As İsmail Demir stated, their aim is to begin testing the drone on conventional locations first. I also think they brought the second prototype of Kızılelma (it also hasn't flown). So I don't think so. But we will see we don't know much about this.

 

[python34]

It was explained that KE can take off without needing any assistance. I think KE will take off with minimal fuel and land at another airport.

 

[Manomed The Second]

Isn't it more sensible to first test these on ground with a mock up of anadolu's deck? I don't like these pr shows for baykar

Without beeing son of law, you think we would order thousand UAVs from Baykar? Erdogan advertise Baykar wherever he goes abroad. If this is not State support, I dont know what it is.

The problem here is this... If this is indeed the second prototype, you would risk losing the aircraft. She hasn't flown yet. The first prototype should be undergoing testing at Çorlu. It recently conducted her 3rd test. It is far from being mature.

TB3 is more likely (was less complex, built upon a proven platform, less expensive and thus you may cut corners). But I still very much doubt this.
