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

[Zafer]

Kızılelma will be most useful when all of its features like stealth, speed, agility and loadout capacity are put into play at the same time. However it does not always need all of its strengths be put into play. When you can take out enemy air defenses with stand off munitions Kızılelma can enter the stage with its full load.

In cases where Kızılelma has to attack as the only type several Kızılelma can enter the stage together adding their IWB loadout up to an effective level. This is in case one Kızılelma is not enough for the specific target.

You can also make the munitions smaller or the plane bigger when you have the matching engines to go along.

And I just cant see how on earth will LM and Boeing keep their silence when they can force the US govt to buy their expensive drones by crushing Baykar one way or the other

Baykar will be TikTok 2.0; the deep state/zionists owning LM and Boeing will find excuses such as money going to Turkey/Turkish govt/Radical Ottomans etc... to convince the US into forcing Baykar into selling its US factories to US businessmen.

In other words, such a venture by Baykar will eventually turn out to be ugly and Baykar should honestly refrain from such an endeavour

Hallall brother! I agree with you 100%...

Bayraktar Technology Azerbaijan LLC, a subsidiary of the Turkish company Baykar Makina, has begun producing unmanned aerial vehicles in Azerbaijan.

Azərbaycanda “Bayraktar” istehsalına start verildi – Sumqayıtda nəhəng addım

Azərbaycanda hərbi-sənaye sahəsində mühüm hadisə baş verib. Musavat.com xəbər verir ki, Türkiyənin “Baykar Makina” şirkətinin yerli törəmə müəssisəsi olan “Bayraktar Teknoloji Azərbaycan” MMC ölkəmiz...

A protocol on the joint production of UAVs between Baykar and Azerbaijan was signed in May 2023.

Good.

Ideally we should aim to establish factories accross the Turkic world for obvious reasons.

 

[Huelague]

Baykar should open a R/D facility in the USA.

917 records hay maşallah..!

This should have been done long ago. But it's not too late.
Hundreds of thousands of young people from Central Asia are moving to other countries, mostly to Russia, in search of work.
Recently, Russia has even been attracting workers from this region for its military industry. It would be wise and profitable for Turkey to build defense factories there.
The distance from Edirne to eastern Kazakhstan is 4,000 kilometers. Imagine 5 million square kilometers of territory! That's more than all of Europe!
What strategic depth!
Adjacent to eastern Kazakhstan is a region called Altai! A true paradise on earth. Our ancient homeland. And now – Russian Switzerland!

You do realise that the TB2 is nothing special?

 

[Sanchez]

917 if correct is a pretty special number. Would make it the most produced UCAV in history by far.

 

[Yasar_TR]

@TR_123456 and @Sanchez bros,
You are both correct.
The number of these UCAVs sold is a testament to its name. Thanks to the crappy Russian AD systems, it dominated the skies and made mince meat out of the Russian AD systems and Russian armour on the ground.
As the Russians started to plug the hole in their technology, these drones started to be shot fairly easily.

In fact any UAV currently used by US, China, Turkey and Israel can easily be shot down by the modern ground or aerial AD systems.
TB2 being very small and using EW to suppress ground radars used to locate it, became very successful at destroying ground armour. It is no longer the case though. The EW used by Baykar was at the heart of the success too. (Remember how they were being shot fairly easily during the first introduction to Syrian war. They had to ask for help from Tusas as Anka UAVs were surviving better than TB2s.) Once they were supported by decisive EW, they became the nightmare of the Russian armour.

In essence they are not something special. But due to a niche position they had with their size and EW support, they became a success. And of course their good price!

Would have thought that pt5 would come with eots and irst

Maybe a flight test of the airframe before integrating costly sensors and subsystems.

From the little we see in the video, the build quality seems to have improved quite a bit compared to the other prototypes

my only beef is that it still doesn't have landing gear bay doors

 

[Holikarbon]

my only beef is that it still doesn't have landing gear bay doors

My non-expert guess is that it was left deliberately for radar tracking.

Will probably be integrated later like with hürjet

Akıncı number 112. Last official number we had was around 60 I believe in 2024.

Italian Air Force and Army chiefs and navy vice chief visited Baykar today, along with a delegation from Leonardo and deputy PM.

LBA is going to hit big.

TB3, Akıncı and Kızılelma all showcased their capabilities back to back.

40 or 50 of those are at least ours as saudis are to be made local and most buyers bought around 8 piece

We don't have any sources to back any of these. Turkish Akıncı numbers were very low for years, maybe they are getting more now, but no numbers.

I wish to see KE is firing AA missile against Turna
