All of us would accept any kind of delays with Anka-III pleasantly. Nevertheless the timing for the first appearance of a ''whole new design of an aircraft that neither them or anyone in the country is familiar with'' just befor an election seems a bit premature NOW... so I would understand some one who rephrase the process as rushing

do we remember jackal that we exported to England?

Jackal, which made its first shot with Thales' LMM (Lightweight Multirole Missile) missile in England in October 2022, received full marks from British engineers, defense industry personnel and military experts who participated in the test.

It's my favourite concept. If they can push this vehicle towards a naval aircraft concept, the company will grow tens of times in a few years.

- Fully autonomous landing and take-off on ship deck over TACAN
- Foldable vertical blades and half wing
- 4-5 hours flight endurance
- Ability to carry lightweight torpedo or medium-range AShM on sides or dipping sonar capability in the lower part of the fuselage
(Probably a much larger and heavier aircraft than the current model. I do not think this is utopic, if they receives the support of giants such as Aselsan, Havelsan and TEI.)

Oh I remember this. Thales claimed this drone was completely developed and manufactured in the UK. Bloody imperialists!

Our UAV Jackal is now much faster in horizontal flight with 6 thruster EDF engines We continue to work to make Jackal UAV the most effective and well-equipped aircraft in its class, which we continue to develop and test at the facilities in Kalecik, Ankara .... this is the latest tweet from 14.08.2023 from

As far as I understand, Thales is supporting the project and as a result, it is also involved in its marketing. I think the real question is, for example, Havelsan has developed BAHA for use/test the systems - and future warfare concept- it has developing. If they supports this project, to what extremes point can it take its concept, I think this is the main question we need to think about.

You probably want to take a look at the civilian ducted fan champion the Lilium jet.


or the next one that claims to be much quieter

Then they're doing a shite job. That drone is as Turkish as it gets. Stealing credit isn't very cash money of them.

Thales ain't steeling the credit.

This is from their website.

'The JACKAL drone capability has been designed and developed by experts from UK-based Flyby Technology, with Turkish partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations providing design engineering and prototyping expertise, to fill a recently discovered gap in modern combat operations.'

And FLYBVLOS states:
As Fly BVLOS Technology, we are proud to present the UCAV version of our indigenous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Jackal, which we designed and developed in Turkey with our own capital and exported to the UK on April 25, 2022!
That means they're stealing it.

Russia, displaying captured, intact TB2

I wish these drones had little explosives inside, triggered by a self-destruct command.
It is not an intact TB2. They collected parts from several crashed TB2s and poorly glued them together 😂 these ruskies are hilarious losers

Edit: they also produced replicas of certain parts in workshops and glued them on, since they were missing some parts

This is an arts and crafts project though. The tail lacks the camera and the structure of the nose is shoddy.
They even failed to properly replicate the decals, ffs!

ALPIN-780x470.jpg


The first user of the ALPİN Unmanned Helicopter, developed by Titra, is the Turkish Land Forces.

Turkish Land Forces Command is taking Unmanned Helicopters to its inventory. Delivery of the ALPIN system developed by Titra Technology has started. The system will be used by the Land Forces for cargo transportation.

According to the special news of Tolga Özbek, the number of helicopters, which can carry a load of 200 kilograms in total, is expected to be increased in the Land Forces Command in the coming days. No official statement has been made about the number yet.

While watching some ww2 footage I have noticed on some airplane that the landing gear have a cover on it so when it retract inside the cover fit the plane perfectly .

Why we didn't seen any attempt by Baykar to solve that issue on Akinci landing gear ?

Some thoughts.

1. The added weight might have outweighed the lower drag benefits
2. Adding weight to the landing gear might have required larger/heavier closing/opening mechanisms
