Before forgetting, there is talk of twin-engine configuration for Anka-3. It is expected that 2 more Anka-3s will be completed by the end of the year. (2nd minute in the video)

The twin-engine Anka-3 variant was on the roadmap no surprises
Smaller Şimşek should be similar to Kemankeş in weight as they are using the same engine. It might be a little lighter.
IL-600 is in tests/qualification while IL-1600 is in development.

I wonder when they plan to give the Anka-3 a name, will it remain as 3? It looks like an ordinary product, doesn't anyone think of it?

Anka was already a name given to the program. Why would they give it a name again?

I hope they don't put a new name. Our naming will be similar to brand names, I think that's obvious. Such as Anka 1-2-3, Hürkuş 1-2-3, Gökbey 1-2-3, Atak 1-2-3 etc.

If this logic is correct, the name of the 10 Ton class utility helicopter should be "Gökbey-2".

Or Gökbeylerbeyi.

Ok, I am letting myself out.

 

[Oublious]

Why not making ANKA-3 manned bomber if you going to put 2 engine...

 

[Aloster]

I hope they don't put a new name. Our naming will be similar to brand names, I think that's obvious. Such as Anka 1-2-3, Hürkuş 1-2-3, Gökbey 1-2-3, Atak 1-2-3 etc.

If this logic is correct, the name of the 10 Ton class utility helicopter should be "Gökbey-2".

I wish we coded Anka-3 as THK-13-NG (Next generation) and also Hurjet coded as THK-16-NG . So at least people again remember making jet, plane , not only belongs to today also our past. For me this planes comes from our ancestors dreams.
Ps: I know , I share THK-13 before please forgive me.

Is there such a UAV as Anka-2?

Anka-2 = Aksungur
At the beginning named Anka-2 after that they named as Aksungur

 

[Baryshx]

Anka-2 = Aksungur

We know it, but it was not called Anka-2, it was called Aksungur.

 

[Aloster]

We know it, but it was not called Anka-2, it was called Aksungur.

Nope at the beginning they called Anka-2 at least at press after that they named as Aksungur.

Why is Baykar going with Tb2-Tb3, Akıncı and Kızılelma?

Anka-3 is a different platform, it may use the same infrastructure as Anka, but this is a flying wing UAV.

It seems to simplify and trivialize a beautiful, difficult job.

Anka 3 is the development project name, not a product name. Tusas is obviously free to choose Anka-3 as the product name, but their history indicates that they will select another name for the final production-ready drone.

Probably they follow same strategy Türk Hava Kurumu (THK) strategy they also named project plane THK-xxx after that named it. For example THK-16 project plane named after as THK-16 Mehmetçik. May be someone following it as a tradition. Just my speculation. If following UAV Named as Anka-4 , it is not a suprise. My personal criticism we need serious naming strategy . Honestly sometimes I mixed products. I have to check pages. Especially a2a missile part.

The development projects were already called Mius.

When Kızılelma first flew, it was under its own name. It has an impressive example in front of it.

Anyway, as I said, this has been said many times about Tusaş, and still nothing has changed.

Program Müdürü ANKA-3 MİUS'u Anlattı | SavunmaSanayiST

ANKA-3 MİUS (Muharip İnsansız Savaş Uçağı)'u, TUSAŞ İHA Sistemleri Program ve İş Geliştirme Müdürü Fatma Sütcü, anlattı. ANKA-3, ilk uçuşa gün sayıyor.

www.savunmasanayist.com

"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."

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.

"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."

It'd be interesting to see how we might use this prototype. We can't use it to its full potential but it is exciting to think that we are going to have a flying wing bomber drone in our inventory.

Also, 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.

Also, 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.

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 decades

People may not believe me but the Europeans till this date cant get over the fact that the Turks were the only human race who were able to steamroll through most of Europe. Not only did the Turks destroyed the White race supremacy theory, but also implemented a new religion, infrastructure, and culture into the European demography that still persists to this date. Just go and tell any European who claims that the West was never invaded but they are the ones who invade amd tell them that the Turks dominated those fools for several decades and they will go bonkers and lash at you

The best response to these people is RESULTS. In 2017, they insulted Turkey, the govt, the people and the MMU program itself when they saw that the first produced part was the AC of the plane. Now, after 5 years of slanders, all of the West is silent not knowing what to say

"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.

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.
