If the ship commander did not take Baykar's social media employee on board, this rumor may possible. Jokes aside, I think all the test flights of the TB-3 have been shared on social media so far. I don't know if the sea tests will proceed more discreetly within the navy.

maybe it was a rough landing so they are not willing to share it with the public, i'm just speculating here, otherwise such an amazing achievement would have already been shared.
cant' wait to see Baykar troll General dynamics on X with a funny message.
imagine " @generaldynamics take off is easy, wanna try landing ?
need help call Baykar hotline "
that would be the most outrageous troll ever in aero history. it may be childish but i secretly hope they do some stupid sh@t like this.
would f@cking frame the post

Nose mounted Flir on the new Akıncı test. A two gimbal mounted version would be very interesting for ISR missions.

We cannot be certain whether that's the same aircraft.
Wide-Area Motion Imagery (WAMI)

The Future of Persistent Ground Surveillance - European Security & Defence
Ground surveillance consistently monitors ground activities and has historically relied on radar and observational data. This integration of multiple pieces of equipment, such as cameras, radars, and other electronic sensors, results in a single-band or multi-spectral surveillance coverage over...

I have a preliminary check of what the Kizilelma PT3 drone is likely to have installed.

The ASELSAN DAS contributes significantly to increasing the survivability and effectiveness of aircraft in complex operational scenarios.
Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS):
ASELSAN IRIS 100
Technical specifications:
The İRİS-100 is a Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) developed by ASELSAN and specially designed for use on aircraft. It is used for the early detection and tracking of infrared-guided missile threats and thus increases the survivability of airplanes and helicopters.
Main features of the İRİS-100:
Detection in the UV range: the system detects the exhaust jets of approaching missiles in the "solar blind" UV band, resulting in lower jamming sensitivity.
High sensitivity: Enables the detection of threats over long distances.
Early threat warning: Declares and tracks threats as early as the launch phase of the missile.
Visual and acoustic warnings: Informs the pilot of detected threats both visually and audibly.
High probability of detection: Provides reliable identification of threats.
Precise angle determination: Provides accurate information about the direction of arrival of the threat.
Multiple target tracking: Can detect, track and declare multiple threats simultaneously.
Fast response time: Short declaration time enables timely activation of countermeasures.
Low false alarm rate: Minimizes the number of false alarms.
Flexible system configuration: Can be equipped with 4 to 6 sensors; spherical coverage is achieved with 6 sensors.
High reliability: Has a high mean time between failure (MTBF).
Spectral range: Solar Blind UV
Field of view:
With 4 sensors: ±45° elevation x 360° azimuth
With 6 sensors: Full spherical coverage
Communication interface: MIL-STD-1553 / RS-422
Power consumption: Less than 14 W per sensor unit
Operating temperature: -40°C to +71°C (according to MIL-STD-810E)
Storage temperature: -55°C to +85°C (according to MIL-STD-810E)
Cooling: No special requirements
The İRİS-100 has been extensively tested and has proven itself in use. It is suitable for various airborne platforms and provides effective protection against infrared-guided missile threats.
Wonderful!!! If all these features were possible, it could replace the 4.5 generation fighters.

Finally this is the next seroius Step, as soon as the weapons and target identification tests are completed, these drones must immediately go into series production at least 60 units + 10 options for the Navy, Gendarmerie/Army/Police and Air Force as first Batch.
20-30 pcs. TCG Anadolu/Navy
20 pcs Gendarmerie/Army/Police
20 pcs Air Force
We should also consider some of the TB2 drones in stock at least 40-50 pieces. Refurbished to Africa & Eastern Europe + Ukraine for sale.
The Money could then be used to finance part of the second batch.

Unless I miscalculated, TB-3 completed its first landing test just below 100 meters.
I know the Navy is planning to procure more than 30.

Well done. Btw these tests need to be conducted with payload as well.
And with Domestic engine

Congratulatory message from Haluk Görgün, President of SSB:
Bayraktar TB-3 made world record as the first UCAV, capable of both taking off and landing from a ship with a short runway! This success is an indicator not only of the Turkish defense industry, but also of our pionering in the global race in aerospace technologies. Turkiye won this race!
Developed with domestic and national facilities, TB-3 is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of our national naval aviation. With its flight time endurance, high payload capacity and now the ability to land and take off from a ship with a short runway, TB-3 is an approach that opens the door to a new era in future defense technologies. Turkiye entered naval aviation at the highest level!
I would like to sincerely congratulate our engineers, technicians and all the teams, especially our Baykar Tech company, who contributed to this historic achievement. Turkiye, with its perseverance and determination, has taken a leading place in a global race.
We are proud of our Baykar and our Defense Industry!

Indigenous engine, indigenous flight control system, indigenously designed airframe, indigenous munitions, indigenous avionics and related payloads, indigenous system engineering. This makes the significance of this achievement even more profound.

Great study. By the way, how many lifts are there in the ship? As far I see, one is at the back. Any other?
