Yeah, we all should check the posts but I'm happy that this part of the expo got attention.

There was more to it at that panel and I am scrolling around my gallery to see what else comes interesting

Anka-3 possible loadouts. Innermost ones are IWBs.

View attachment 80455

According to this infographic, 3 Anka-3s, along with 6 Süper Şimşek loyal wingman drones that they would release in the air before entering the congested zone, could form a mission squadron of 9 aircraft in total. Behind these 6 Super Şimşeks, which could perform kamikaze, decoy, or radar jamming/EW operations, up to 24 Tolun(SDB) munitions stored in 3 Anka-3's internal stations could disable a medium-sized military compound and its protective AD layer over 400 miles away.

I Wonder how many Kızılelma's will br in the first delivery? It was first announced as first quarter of 2026 then moved to second half and we have seen 2 Serial production Kızılelma's flying plus 3-4 in production so 5 could be a reasonable number I guess
No info on numbers were released.

Is that Nancy Faeser?
Queen Consort of Belgium; she's in Turkey as part of the Belgian delegation along with defence minister and foreign minister.

🔴Tests are beginning!

▪️It had been announced that Baykar and LBA Systems, a subsidiary of the Italian defense company Leonardo, would conduct various tests with the Leonardo M-346F Block 20 aircraft and 2 Bayraktar KIZILELMA Unmanned Fighter Aircraft.

▪️ A flight of an M-346 aircraft was observed in Turkish airspace.

They don't keep us waiting too long, thnkfully. Hürjet will get the same treatment when it is ready. Let's see what doors this can open both for capabilities and for user base.

While it's good news I am saddened that this test isn't done with Hürjet.

Maybe there is a strategic reason for it. who knows.

While Italy has begun actual testing of the Kızılelma-MumT concept with a jet of a much lower capability range, a significant segment of Turkish defense enthusiasts unfortunately have doubts about the combat potential of the Hürjet.
