Kizilelma flight test with Teber 82

Teber82, if not carried in the inside weapon bays, the KE can not be used effectively against say South Cypriot positions. Those Teber82s on the outer pylons will allow the plane to be seen by AD radars and Barak8 missiles will bring it down.
KE is essentially a stealthy UCAV. If it carries bombs under its belly in the open, its stealth will greatly be compromised and can fall prey to modern AD systems.

These flight tests are probably needed to be performed. But in real life what separates KE and Anka-3 from other UCAVs is their stealthy designs. To take advantage of that we need to make sure that they carry most of the munitions inside their inner weapon bays.

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?

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!

PT5 flight test
Would have thought that pt5 would come with eots and irst
