Unmanned warplane ANKA-III made its first flight with ammunition!

I hope those pylons can be ejected once the munition is launched, otherwise it is a really unnecessary hit to its radar signature.

How do you going to eject the FLIR?

That's going to changed in the future with a more stealthy one anyway, pylons are the real problem.

Doubt, it adds unnecessary complexity to the design. Maybe with Kaan in the future.

ANKA III as well as Kizilelma won't carry any FLIR. They will be both be equipped with Toygun. Pretty sure that was confirmed, for Anka, months ago.

Then it shouldn't have weapons stations outside at all. This is supposed to be our deep strike bomber, those pylons are detrimental to the role this drone should be used for.

Those pylons are optional. Stealth is not always necessary.
It will be your fastest drone for air-to-ground attack. Yes, we could argue about KE being the fastest, but i am speaking about their speed regarding their primary roles (IMHO KE will be more air-to-air)
So why do you want to restrict your fastest drone only for stealth attacks?
This is still "only" a drone, which costs much less than a B-2 bomber.
AFAIK external pylons with ordinance can't be jettisoned by F-22 or F-35 too, only the ones with fuel tanks, because the pylons are attached on the tank, as i understand it.
