Turkish drones are also rumoured to be destroying the RSF in Sudan.

For now but it seems that Somalian army was not ready, al shabaab is almost in capital Mogadishu. They better hurry...

What are these ? View attachment 74163

perhaps intelligence gathering equipment for SIGINT/ELINT.

UAV-122 is such a great option to have for our drones, 50 km range is great as well. Anka should be able to carry 4 of this I think.

it needs laser illumination for terminal guidance though. aselflir 500 can point the target from 35km at maximum. we need cheap, smaller UAVs with laser designator to not risk losing tactical drones like TB2.

Not necessarily, it can also attack at coordinates if it is like UAV-230. Laser would come into play, imo, if we are attacking at something moving.

How about using Kemankeş, or a similar munition with a laser illuminator ? A parachuted TR-122 is a ballistic missile with a different payload, and this completely redefines its mission. Similarly, why not send ten Kemankeş to the front lines and launch laser-guided missiles continuously whenever a Kemankeş acquires a target ? Those can stay airborne for an hour. This both reduces the risk of losing a TB-2 and helps to lock onto more than one target at a time without filling the sky with large UAV's.

kemankeş has laser rangefinder, not a laser illuminator. I was thinking of a hovering platform, much like Kalkan VTOL.

I meant a Kemankeş with a laser illuminator added to its design. A hovering platform is good for keeping the illumination stable, but I chose a missile because they are harder to intercept rather than VTOL UAV's.

It turns out that Akinci turned the tide againg in a conflict wher TB2 is not enough.

Intresting, it drop it from low altitude and the missile did go to high altitude to fly to the target. What if TB3 was max altitude was the range 100km?

Akinci can succeed. His flight altitude is much higher

I think after seeing so many jets and helicopters fly incredibly low to avoid radar detection before attacking in Ukraine, I appreciate this test more.

TB3 have nearly reached 1000 flighthours.

"In addition to the fully successful missile launch test of the IHA-122, Baykar Technologies updated the status of the TB3 development program which has so far accumulated a total of 967 hours and 55 minutes in the air in test flights."

Il TB3 UCAV lancia con successo il missile IHA-122

In Turchia Baykar Technologies prosegue lo sviluppo del UCAV TB3, la versione ingrandita del TB2 imbarcabile a bordo di navi tuttoponte ed impiegabile da piste corte. Il TB3 ha eseguito una missione di attacco antinave impiegando il missile supersonico IHA-122 sviluppato da Roketsan. Il missile...

What is the detection range of radars for objects at 91 meters of altitude?
