Which engine did the ANKA 3 use?

I think it was AI-322F from Ivchenko Progress.

It mentions an AI-322 engine. It may not be AI-322F, but this engine seems to be AI-322 class.

It mentions an AI-322 engine. It may not be AI-322F, but this engine seems to be AI-322 class.

AI-322 engine is produced by Motor-Sich of Ukraine. It is a 5500lbf maximum dry thrust level turbofan.
The AI-322F version is the afterburner version of this engine developing 9260lbf thrust.
As a flying wing this plane can not achieve supersonic flight. Hence no need for the “F” version engine.
But in days to come , with a single, TF6000 it will be stealthier and will most probably develop more thrust, augmenting it’s overall performance.
With dual TF6000 engines it can be bigger have more weapons and/or fuel on board and can go longer.

Next Teknofest KE and Anka-3 flying side by side,,,,

how many of these things would the Turkish army look to acquire?

Any answer you'll get here will be a guesstimate at best mate. Mine is, at least several dozen over time, but, the real power/usefulness of this drone cannot be shown until we are at war with a peer-level enemy. But I don't expect production numbers to be high, not until TF-6000 is ready at least.

For Turkey's military planners, the self-sufficiency strategy in the defence sector is paying off. It is a response to the numerous sanctions imposed on the country by the West in recent years. Germany did not supply any more Leopard tanks for the fight against the Kurds. The USA stopped Turkey from supplying components for the US F-35 fighter jet because Erdogan purchased air defence missiles from Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the West's calculation of slowing down Turkey's armaments is clearly not working.

Anyone else get sick and tired of western propaganda constantly referring to the PKK simply as a fight or war on Kurds? Basically delegitimising Turkey, insinuating some kind of ethnic genocide is taking place, while legitimising their acts of terrorism?

same media that justifies the genocide in Gaza taking place.

Tubitak and aselsan can put passive radar emitting device on Anka 3,so it would lead shut the radars off,you can not be sure Anka 3 iis over or not .The main duty of F35 is sead dead mission,Anka 3 will fill the gap on this area

I did not want to add the link, because it is behind a paywall. But here you go, link added.

I was thinking you wrote it up, good thing you added a link.

I once said about Akıncı, "We will benefit greatly from the meat and feathers of this bird." I said so, and so it happened. Akıncı even became a test plane for radar, what else can you ask for? I expect Akıncı to become the "flying Gökhan launcher" within 1-2 years. Launching Siper HSS missiles from the ground is of course a capability. But firing the Siper HSS missile or Gökhan missile from 8 km above with an initial speed of 750 km is a completely different thing. This application can be considered a revolution in air combat!

Now I say the same for Anka-3, we will benefit a lot from the flesh and feathers of this bird, soo much. In due time, the twin-engine Anka-3 will take over Akıncı's flying "Siper HSS or Gökhen launcher" function. The enemy will not be able to detect the location of the fired Siper missile or Gökhan missile until it is too late. Akıncı will still have this opportunity, because Akıncı is not stealth. Anka-3, on the other hand, will not give the enemy that chance of early detection. Anka-3 will be the "Sniper of air wars".

Reddit and X is full of burned US/EU/etc. fanboys. Amount of "no lololo" type of coping...

Even Wire. There's only 4 country can handle big-data drone-ing, and one of them is us, and they still "yes it flys nice job but can you handle after that ????"

Yes, thank you, we didn't think after it, we only thought, design/build/flight aspects. Now we need to think again. We woke up one day we said: "I wanna build a stealth jet drone !!!!" Then we started to build. It's a hobby project after all, completely not related with TSK and our Defence Industry.

Pffffff....

if it is passive, that means it does NOT emit anything. passive radars are calculating location by triangulating radio waves from 'other emitting' sources like TV or GSM
