Even the mightiest of the WIG effect

P1 doesn't have IWB.



It's not new.

Hmm where are the wings though

The impact footage is from another test, it seems like.

Secon ANKA3 prototype will fly in november.

A plant for the production of Turkish Bayraktar drones in Ukraine is planned to be built by August 2025, Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar said.

“We have completed 80% of the construction, and equipment is now being ordered. The start date of production will be determined by the progress of the war, but the facility will be ready in August 2025,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of the Saha Expo defense exhibition in Istanbul.

In February, the company’s management announced that Baykar had begun building a plant near Kyiv, where it plans to produce TB2 or TB3 drone models.

“The plant in Ukraine is large, we plan to hire about 500 people,” Haluk Bayraktar told Reuters at the time.

They must be getting something important in return to make such a pointless plant in Ukraine.

Most probably engine technologies

 

[Quasar]

in November TAI-made ANKA-3 will conduct test firing from its internal weapon station, which has been developed for radar invisibility, in November. May the souls of our martyrs rest in peace.

It just takes way too long I wish they would keep people on for 24 hours in a 3-4 shift rotation with several drones of the same version alternating.
I can literally smell the third world war in 6-8 years at the latest, the Chinese will try to take Taiwan, they are already building landing craft, ships and carriers non-stop.
This will be the starting signal for a global war and Turkey must be prepared to stand up to one or both sides in order to remain neutral and not be drawn into China <-> USA

ANKA-III and KIZILELMA started flying during the war in Ukraine, but their engines were supplied from Ukraine. Production not only continues, but also increases. Our production is increasing both in quantity and quality. And we are doing everything to make production even stronger and more effective

They do that already, same people stay for days at a time too

What do you mean "meaningless"?
Do you mean the possible Russian bombing? Or something else?
The article I quoted says that "TB2 or TB3 will be produced". Given the nature of the ongoing war, the powerful Russian air defense (and other conditions), in my opinion, producing Kızılelma in Ukraine would be more appropriate.

In my opinion, it is more likely that Turkey could be drawn into a war even earlier. In the Middle East. Let's see if Israeli troops stop at the southern borders of Syria.

The IDF is too incompetent to go beyond the south of Lebanon so far Mossad is the only part of the Israeli state that is competent.

If we are talking only about the competent of the Israeli army, I am afraid that my opinion will disappoint you. As for Lebanon, I don't think so eitner that Israel will occupy it completely. But - up to the Litani River - it is very likely.

Rapid Mapping Pod
View attachment 29974
The Baykar Rapid Mapping Pod enables 24 hour turnaround time to generate high-resolution (7cm and less) maps of thousands of square kilometers.

An automated pipeline processes terabytes of data to provide beautiful, orthorectified maps with each pixel accurately georeferenced to within several decimeters. A highly critical addition necessary for scouting and detecting changes.

looks like, they managed to develop it further. If you watch the video they say it is impossible to send GB data they managed to filter the footage with AI software.

Do they know what a MPA essentially do?
Flying high, making use of altitude to detect farther ranges via SAR MTI mode, using EO / IR for detection and classification of targets, shadowing targets, using MAD.

Aksungur can be a MPA, this can not. It is not ' let's give it a try ' case, you can't put a farm vehicle through le mans.

 

[boredaf]

you can't put a farm vehicle through le mans

But I would pay to see a tractor go through 24 hours of Le Mans

Why are they even trying to sell this as an MPA anyway? Their design screams attack craft not a patrol vehicle.

Because they have read an article online referring to Singapore's Marine Patrol Authority (MPA), planning to induct the WIG design they have 'borrowed' for the moment. When you are too low on the sense, you interpret MPA as Maritime Patrol Aircraft.

Nevertheless they are trying to make something different and i would like to see it going through and actually i appreciate more than others. I am sure there can be alternate roles fitting just perfect to this class od vehicles with their low flying and alternating transit high fly modes, but they shouldn't simple pursue kamikaze, 'flying this much low!!!' , 'one of its kind' , 'Navy and officials show a great interest in this aircraft', exaggaration because it only hurts in the long run.

They plan to integrate PG50 in the next version, which is good in my opinion, make it with folding wings and SOF, Amphibious units, mine warfare units would make great use of such a platform. Or think of a larger variant with PG115, or PD180ST, TJ300. All would work essentially, they just need to study some CONOPS to make it fit, there are plenty of openings before them all they need to come to senses and advertise if correctly before exaggarating the specs.

Think of coastal nations with limited runways in most of islets, these kind of UAVs will sell like bread and butter. Man, just advertise correctly and this platform will make it further than anything we can imagine with just the 'a very low flying UAV of one of its kind', hey man Germans, Singaporeans have already made scaled models of the design fly as low as they had claimed.

Before proceeding too far they would hit the patent and copyright holders on the particulars of the design. Better consider a way out soon.
