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.

 

[Radko]

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.

If TS1400 turns into a Turboprop, how will it compare to Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6?

 

[Merzifonlu]

If TS1400 turns into a Turboprop, how will it compare to Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6?

In what way will it be compared?
-If it is to be compared in power, it is roughly equivalent to a model of the PT6 (PT6A-68C).
-In terms of total flight hours and maturity, the PT6 is incomparably ahead.
-In terms of weight or price, it cannot be compared at the moment because the TS-1400 has not been converted yet.

 

[Zafer]

If TS1400 turns into a Turboprop, how will it compare to Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6?

It depends on how they will convert it. If they turn it into an axial flow type it counts for a full conversion and it will be very comparable to a PT6. If they take shortcuts and attach a propeller to where the shaft is it can still work but it will lack in efficiency department. If Baykar will be the only customer they can go with a partial conversion as the numbers to use may not be very high to justify the additional cost. If TEI want to make a family of engines like the PT6 to sell widely then a full conversion makes more sense. We have no clue what will happen but I think a full conversion is more likely as there is a big market out there.

One of the most complete ANKAs is in the inventory of the Naval Forces Command. With its SARPER SAR Radar and EO/IR camera, ANKA-S offers the DZKK a serious reconnaissance capability from long ranges. The sea search and ISAR capability in SARPER provides a serious capability in taking sea pictures.

As a matter of fact, ANKAs equipped with SARPER and MİLSAR SAR Radars successfully detected mines coming from the Black Sea.

TALAY reminds me of this scene:

Nice to see that we're making use of ground effect. Imagine a larger model of TALAY fitted with anti-ship missiles.

 

[Brave Janissary]

Many last footages of our new babies anka-3 and Kızılelma Pt-3 we see dacs like 360 degree cameras. With help of that planes create a 360 degree bubble around the aircraft and speedly detect any aa missile, fighter and sam missile in it its iir range. With help of that also they can guide iir guided missiles to enemy aircrafts with limited movement needs.

So that's mean ucavs doesnt need a very agile dogfight capabilities . So if kızılelma can achieve work this dacs kind system and work aesa radar with bvr missile it could be very serious rival in the air againts 4 th gen enemy fighter.

Murad 200A Aesa + Dacs+Toygun + Karat + Ai322f Engine + Gökdoğan + Bozdoğan = Limited Air Superiorty .

An example from f-35 dacs
