TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

S-70 does have RTB functions.

There could be many failure points in an aircraft.

It could very well be the engine, or the central computer etc

Only supports my point to be honest. Something failed, either due to enemy interference or due to a fault in the system which left the aircraft unresponsive and led to it going headfirst into Ukrainian airspace. And there will always be such risks with unmanned aircraft.

if you do it simply returns to base.

And why Russia was not able to do so.

Turkish UAVs haven't faced western EW technology

We were and are doing operations in Syria under American EW but I do no know to what extend.

 

[Oublious]

Currently we don't expand tactical use of UAV. I mean, our army seems to know their limits however Turkish UAVs haven't faced western EW technology , so far Turkish UAVs have coped with primitive EW of Soviet technology. Americans aren't stupid and they must have researched it.

I think the solution of the connection problem is AI pilots. Remote controlled drones are doomed to be jammed so AI assisted fully autonomous drones could survive.
Revolution of AI pilots needs long time therefore nowadays we need variety of manned aircrafts.

Not correct, Syria is under American and Russian EW.

 

[Huelague]

Not correct, Syria is under American and Russian EW.

We are also using EW if necessary and possible.

 

[Oublious]

We are also using EW if necessary and possible.

Exactly, who do you think Americans are protecting in North Syria? With out EW and ECM impossible to operate.

 

[UkroTurk]

I doubt if Americans attacked electronically or tried to jam Turkish UAVs in Syria.

 

[Radonsider]

I doubt if Americans attacked electronically or tried to jam Turkish UAVs in Syria.

Why? They even shot down one of our UAVs

 

[Nutuk]

Beyond doubt they've shot down one of our drones, Anka I believe

 

[UkroTurk]

Ok. İ forgot it. But f-16 shot down. it wasn't EW.

I don't know if allready posted, Baykar will develop a Akinci Variant with two TS-1400 Engines. This Variant will have an higher Payload Capacity. It can be used as SOJ or unmanned AEW&C Aircraft. Also as Carrier Platform for ALBM, ASBM as well air launched Gezgin it's interesting.

Turkish vs Us - Unmanned aerial vehicle comparison

Turkish vs Us - Unmanned aerial vehicle comparison

There is a mistake in the video, it says up to 3 kg but the image says 3 pounds, which would make it less than1.5 kg, right about the same as Kargu.

(Also, this is the wrong thread for this, there is one for smaller drones)

 

[Samba]

It is reported that Kızılelma is in production line! Were there any fire tests etc? Or test planes are production?

 

[Oublious]

5000 pieces delivered, incuded export amount. I hopr theu deliver another 15000 to the Armed Forces. Warhead is 1.3 kg.

Wait a minute, he talking about repackaging the TS1400 and turning it into a turboprop. Since the BAYKAR CTO is talking about they currently developing a heavier, possible HALE platform, the main specs of this prop engine should be finalized and at an advanced stage. Baykar's current situation is very suitable to fund this project. In fact, we can say that this type of engine is also needed in the product range of defense aviation. By scaling Small, Medium and Heavy, a very valuable option can be provided to companies in both manned and unmanned aviation.
