Still wondering about 2 things

1-Whats up about the 141 hp piston engine option
2-When will we see a full footage of mini takeoff

915 iS A | iSc A | iS C24 | iSc C24

Dynamic iS engine with best power-to-weight ratio.

My question is why rather than what actually. As others stated it is for either one of Export or Land Based version.

last time they showed 24 june ther 500th from the production line and another 80 to be delivered, this is 4 month ago i think they pas the 750. We will have to wait when they hit the 1000. TSK should have something 200 TB2.

According to Official ruzzian military the spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Yevgenyevich which verbally said on ruzzian media that they already destroyed 500 TB2 drones in total.

500 destroyed
200 in TSK
and ~50 exported to other countries expect Ukraine?
= 750

 

[Osman]

Tsk, gendarmerie, coast guard, mit and egm should have something like 250

It should be pretty clear why. You can find rotax anywhere in the world. Some customers might opt for cheaper COTS rotax engine.

TB3 is most likely airborne right now! (According to flight radar)

Two hours flight at 6k+ feet.

 

[Kaan Azman]

Let'see how quickly it took off

 

[fushkee]

Its video drops online soon...

Okay, this time they went too far with all those cuts, they almost reached Liam Neeson jumping a chanlink fence number of cuts.

Let's hope next flights will all go without problems and they'll start production next year.

Tb3 for ground bombing on terrorist with weak SAMs
and Steath Kizilelma for air to air fight with other countries airforces will be big step for our Anadolu replacment for f35.

Drone will in the future able to go for DEAD missions, Destruction of enemy airdefence systems. In the end they will drop missiles like Kemankes for Baykar drones and Simsek for Tusas drones. It will go for army airdefence systems...

I hope we see a multi rack for KEMANKEŞ as KEMANKEŞ's frontal cross section is close to a MAM-L. You would be able to carry 6 KEMANKEŞ per TB3. Now imagine you attack an island with 5 TB3s armed with those, 3 armed with MAM-L and 2 armed with MAM-T.

Kemankeş's warhead weighs only 6 kg, from what Baykar has said. It can be useful against light armored targets, or delicate targets like radars, but it won't be a big game changer by itself. It's main advantage is its range.

 

[Kaan Azman]

There is a good reason I added MAM-T and MAM-L to the squadron. They ain't gonna keep those islands naked against airborne attacks. 5 TB3s with KEMANKEŞ can saturate air defense systems and after the cleanup is done, the rest can get crazy.

Mam-L would put TB2/3s squarely in air defense range, not just big systems but even some shoulder launched systems. And Mam-T is too heavy for TB3 to carry more than 2 at most, even then I'm not sure if its wing hard points are strong enough to carry 95 kgs. Not to mention Mam-T's range is still only 30kms, not nearly enough to justify risking a drone.

We have far better options for what you're suggesting than those two munitions. Kemankeş might be used to saturate air defences, I give you that but that's about it. Even then, I'm not sure about a rack for it, it is twice as long as Mam-L and half as long as Mam-T with a clearly bigger circumference.

 

[Kaan Azman]

TB3 is literally confirmed to use MAM-T

Double racks aren't limited to longitudinal placaments. Most even come as side-by-side

KEMANKEŞ (1.73 m) is longer than MAM-T (1.4 m)

Baseline MAM-L can reach a range of 15 km meanwhile MAM-L IIR can reach 25 km. TB3 will fly significantly higher and faster than TB2.

But you don't seem to read what I said properly. I said KEMANKEŞs coming first and the others coming later.

And what better options? If you know one just tell it. Hardest hitting munition TB3 can use is pretty much MAM-T which it can carry alongisde 2 extra BOZOKs or MAM-Ls.
