1x TOLUN Munition Firing Test

I hope those pylons can be ejected once the munition is launched, otherwise it is a really unnecessary hit to its radar signature.Unmanned warplane ANKA-III made its first flight with ammunition!

That's going to changed in the future with a more stealthy one anyway, pylons are the real problem.How do you going to eject the FLIR?
Doubt, it adds unnecessary complexity to the design. Maybe with Kaan in the future.I hope those pylons can be ejected once the munition is launched, otherwise it is a really unnecessary hit to its radar signature.
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.How do you going to eject the FLIR?
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.Doubt, it adds unnecessary complexity to the design. Maybe with Kaan in the future.

If stealth isn't necessary, it is completely unnecessary to use Anka-3. We have drones that can carry more and we have planes that have much more payload and much more faster. And if the stealth is necessary than those pylons are a hinderance. It is completely irrelevant that it won't cost as much as a B-2, it is still going to be an expensive drone, neither our budget nor our production capacity is limitless, risking it needlessly is just stupid.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.

Those pylons are optional.
Then we'll talk about it when it exists. Or we could be talking until cows come home about how awesome it is to have a drone as big as B-2 or whatever.And there will be one with more payload capacity than your current slow drones![]()
Nobody is raging, and I understand what you have written but TAI has shown it with pylons more than once, and I'm commenting on that. They have shown and flew with munition outside the plane and it is pointless for a flying wing aircraft, I'm pointing that out? What's so hard to understand about that?What do you not understand here?
And why do you "rage" over a prototype, which even doesn't have IWBs.
Again, then we'll talk about them when they exist. I am talking about the drone as it is shown right now.This is just the first prototype of many that will be build, because there will be many versions of ANKA-3.

Show me the external mounts on B-2, I'll wait.According to whom, only you? Since Lockheed Martin and USAF decided to put external pylons on stealth platforms, it doesn't seems pointless at all.

I'm not going to argue with you back on forth mate, I find it utterly pointless to put even optional pylons on a flying wing drone because using it for anything else other than missions that require stealth is a waste and unnecessarily risking a drone that'll "only" cost 10s of millions of dollars and will be kitted with our latest tech.
You can believe and talk about whatever you want, it is a free forum after all.
