Yesterday we lost an Akinci in Iraq, maybe we should have some self defence system or, we should use smaller, cheaper UAVs for targetting/recce and use Akinci as stand off missile truck.

A old footage.

The point or one point of UAVs is that they are expendable.

Sure but it's not like we need to throw $20 Million + to the dumpster, when the same work can be done with cheaper UAVs.

 

[Kaan Azman]

Yeah, maybe we should start considering gathering up small-sized firms to mass-produce simple as hell long endurance UAVs that we can send in without worry, in multiples.

But a hunch tells me our procurement policies ain't agile enough for this, interestingly.

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

Türkiye needs to learn on how to adapt quicker, they give me the impression of being to slow.

The very first video of KE engaging an aerial target from a a2a missile from its inner weapons bay is going into my porn, I mean, homework folder. In all seriousness though, I hope they'll be able to start serial production in 2026, we need this bird and Anka-3 to hold the fort for about a decade.

 

[MonteCarlo]

With avionics in testing the one critical component left is RAM paint. I wonder when we will start getting some news about that

 

[Pokemonte13]

i wonder if its a different radar because of the power difference

 

[Zafer]

This milestone should put more pressure on the TF10000 development timeline

 

[uçuyorum]

Nice of them to reveal critical and classified range info with that map visual

Current state of range can be misleading as the radar is also developed domestically and its parameters are not probably finalized and can be modified with the limiting factor being the power supply. Or maybe even that is not the limiting factor as they can probably work the radar with more power in short bursts.

Aselsan will provide RAM materials for Kızılelma. Everything is ready on that front.

I'm guessing the one they entered that NATO workshop with, right? That was years ago, they must've finalised by now.

The foundation is based on that, but it is a new product developed exclusively for Kızılelma.

Is there a need for seperate prototype to test the ram painting or can it be integrated into one of the already existing ones?

Wondering if this is NM or KM.

Wondering if this is NM or KM.

If at the top right edge we are seeing Crimean peninsula, Sebastopol to Istanbul is ~345km.
So by comparison it has to be 160 Nautical Miles from where the KE is.
